About me

I am a career educator (27+ years) in higher education at the university and career college level.    I love helping colleagues put the pieces together to learn how to be the best instructor/educator possible.

Dale, I also am one of those that like human interaction so it wouldn't be best for me in that respect. Real world lessons are consistently used in my classes as I am sure they are in yours. Renee Shaffer
Dale, Yes, I struggled with math as well as statistics then in M.Ed and PhD. I truly beleive that adaptive learning would have helped me because I really needed someone (something) right there helping me every step of the way. Renee Shaffer
