Bio and Introduction:

Welcome everyone. I am siked to teach this course with Heather O'Connor and work with each of you. As an educator with 32 years of experience, the last 24 as an administrator, it is fantastic to teach again. As a matter of fact, I have made the decision to go back into the classroom and return to my roots. The most fun job in the world is teaching.

Thanks toeveryone doing a super job!
