I teach Arts Integration strategies to a faculty of approximately 50 teachers that reach a combined total of almost 750 students at a public arts focused school in Prince George's County, Maryland. I have been in education for 20 years, serving students in grades PK-8 in a large urban school system. My biggest pet peeve is being told no without a why. My philosophy- learned at my mother's knee- "There's always something to look forward to."
