About Me:

I am a 5th grade teacher that has taught for 20+ years in Michigan. I had the good fortune of serving as Michigan Teacher of the Year in 2003-2004. I have written a book to share with other educators -- especially novice teachers that have taught 0-5 years -- called "Best Year Ever! Winning Strategies to Thrive in Today's Classroom." My goal is to help spread a much needed epidemic of hope, determination, and enthusiasm back into this noble profession. To learn more about me you can visit my website at www.bestyearever.net.
