Feet Up Friday
When Mrs. Emery was a teacher, she celebrated Feet-up Friday and acknowledged that she had a messy desk, ungraded papers, and classroom disorder. This is real teacher life. It is not Insta-worthy or Pinterest Perfect. It is real, in the trenches, hard work that leaves you both exhausted and exhilarated at the end of the day.

Most folks would put a professional photo of themselves writing here. I don’t have one, so here is my geeky office wall and my diplomas.
My Philosophy
I am an educator. My focus has been on the high school students and English Language Arts Curriculum. I have also taught Freshman Composition at the university level.
I aspire to write and publish a line of educational materials for high school which broadens the worldview of students.
One of the major deficiencies in learning that I see in my students is the lack of connectedness between subjects and even between units within one subject. My ideal educational materials would integrate subject matter so that students could see the interconnectedness of education and therefore establish stronger skills and greater knowledge.
