I also enjoy the creative aspects of teaching: lesson planning, designing activities, and creating materials. That is when I am most "in the flow."

What do I like most? Not sure. I really like that I know I am making a difference. Not just a difference in the one student sitting in my class but for everyone that student touches and beyond.
I love watching a face light up when he/she gets itinerary makes that connection
I get excited at the creativity that is so valuable to teaching. I appreciate the learning opportunities that flood me when I am teaching and I mean my learnings
I guess I could write a book on this
Thanks for asking

Hello, Virginia! You certainly have a lot of experience. What do you love most about teaching in the U.S. and abroad?

Hello Fellow, Educators,
I love teaching. It is my passion. I was an educator in West Virginia, South Carolina and now teach at a College in North Carolina. In the meantime I lived and worked in Cambodia, Moldova, Russia, and Ecuador. I have a long history in special education and I truly believe that is why my experience and education are so appropriate for English language learners. I am looking forward to a new assignment in a new country and immersing myself in the culture. I truly appreciate the contacts that we make through our professional organizations.
