Why I love teaching PLS courses:

Where else can you spend one week amoungst so many professionals, learning from, sharing with, and enjoying a class that is so practical and relevant? I love getting to know so many teachers from so many areas and providing them with these great courses! Everyone wins, including the students who will be in those teacher's classroom the following year.

What I love most about teaching:

I love the challenge of reaching each and every student. No day is ever the same. No year is like any other!

My favorite moment in teaching:

When students come back years later to let you know what they are up to, share their stories, and invite you to graduations and weddings.
