Motto: If you are not having fun teaching, then your students are not having fun learning!
My life's journey began in China where I attended a boarding school while my parents were missionaries there. My parents and teachers instilled in me a love of God, children, teaching and science. My formal education continued in England and Canada and I ended up at Lamar University in Texas on a track scholarship. I studied biology and became a teacher. I taught K- college level classes for over 41 years in the United States and overseas before arriving at Mississippi College. I still love God, children, teaching and science and try to instill this passion in my education students so that they can instill these values in their students.My research interests are:
* Differentiated Instruction (D.I.),
* Understanding by Design (UbD),
* Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), and
* Conceptual Learning in Science.
