Misty was born and raised in Southern Illinois. She attended SIU-C and graduated with a Bachelor's in health administration. She worked for two years in an early childhood setting and six years in special education as a Response to Intervention Specialist. Along with her two sons and husband, she is the owner/operator of Stray Dog Farms in Cobden, Illinois.
Education is not one size fits all! I like to use differentiated instruction. This allows me to introduce ideas, topics, and information, then allow students further explore those at their own level. This works especially well with reading and language arts, when a student is allowed to apply learned content to books they choose to read that are of their interest and level. I like to go beyond reading, language arts, science, social studies, and math, and include skills such as computer science, coding and typing. Above all I encourage students to be independent learners and never stop asking questions!
