About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Most Common Form of Learning Disability

Andrea, you are correct, you are not allowed to ask, they must disclose. Sometimes I don't need to know the specifics, just what helps them. Other times it might be helpful so I believe if we create the environment where the student feels comfortable with us, he/she will be more willing to share. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
