A little about me:
2009-10 marks my 14th year teaching gifted students in NE Ia. I came back to teaching after staying home with my 2 children for 10 years. Prior to that I taught in Australia, residential treatment centers and a county juvenile home. All have been rewarding, interesting jobs. My children are in college and my husband and I are enjoying the empty-nest syndrome.
