We live in the 21st century and I teach and create curriculum for 21st century students, so I guess I need to make sure I am keeping everyone current for the 21st century school.
So why read my blog?? We all know there are million of blogs out there about family, food, travel, the likes and dislikes of just about anything and everything and even hundreds of thousands of how to's from professionals and DIYers. My goal for this blog? To keep you up to date with hot topics in the education field. There are so many sides to every story, and we all know, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. This is a mid term election year, which means the promises are laid on even thicker from both sides of the aisle. No matter if you are a parent trying to make an informed decision, a student wanting to make the best decision for yourself (at any age) or an educators, I hope this helps you on your own personal journey.
Ok, so what makes me an expert (well, maybe not an expert but at least extremely knowledgeable) about this topic). Well, I have degrees in Education that range from Associates all the way to a PhD and EdS. I have been in the education field for close to 2 decades and have done every job you can think of in education (Researcher, Teacher, Director, Dean, Assistant Dean, Curriculum Writer, Content Developer, Educator, Acting Principle, Substitute Teacher, Counselor, and more) AND at every level (K-12, Higher Ed, Technical Schools, and yes, even preschool). I have been in beautiful suburban and rural schools and have worked in some of the toughest inner city schools in this great nation of ours (Such as Philly).
I look forward to this journey and look forward to hearing from you along the way. Want to follow me on Facebook? www.facebook.com/Dr.Heather.Thompson
