I'm Mrs. Nation and this is all about my education -- as I think I have so much more to learn from my Kindergarteners than I have to teach them. I am constantly learning something new (some helpful information, some not so helpful - unless I'm ever on the Mario/Jack Frost/Tangled version of Jeopardy).
This is my 7th year in education, but my first official year of classroom teaching. I was recruited out of college to come to work at my state's Department of Education in the Early Childhood division. After 6 years and a promotion to Director of Early Childhood, the time came for me to move to the classroom! A bit of a backwards way through education, but I wouldn't have it any other way -- I learned so much from that experience!
I have a Master's in Guidance and Counseling and I am in my last semester of course work towards my Doctorate (YAY!!). I will start writing my dissertation this summer (looking forward to all that extra time) and hope to be done, done, done by Fall 2014.
I hope to use this blog to update on my process, share ideas, and network with other educators! Thanks for stopping by!
