52 years
The greatest challenge that I anticipate facing is helping other board members understand my position and why I am taking a certain position
I love children and I want to see them thrive in life. I earned a BS in education majoring in k-3 and minoring in 4-8. I have taught for 17 years every grade level from 4 year old prek - 5th. After retirement, I substituted in k-12th. I also earned a master's and a specialist degrees in school administration. This has helped me see children from a teachers' perspective and also from the principals' side. As a teacher, you are an inspiration to children as well as a communicator of truth. Learning to work colobratively with all the stakeholders is a great characteristic to bring to the school board. There are several stakeholders in educating children. The child, parent, teacher, principal, and the whole community have a stake in seeing that children are well educated. Working cooperatively with half dozen stakeholders has prepared me to listen, observe, interprete, apply sound educational principles to finding creative solutions to troubles in the educational system.
