Education Table of Contents
I started my career in education because I wanted to live in Italy and earn money while I did so. I stayed for a while because I wanted to make a difference in the life possibilities of those who needed it.
I finished a doctorate in curriculum and instruction, but instead of going into academia, I decided to go into educational administration. Below I wrote what I knew about all the different subjects that I had taught in order to help the teachers who I was training.
Languages Education
At various points in my life, I’ve learned 4 languages to advanced levels, and I really enjoy connecting with others in these languages. Teaching languages was a natural step for me. But it’s not always easy to do. In the below posts, I wrote what I found to be the most helpful in getting students to achieve high.
