Our Instructors

Tara Warmerdam

Whether working with a group of high school seniors as they read Hamlet, or with teachers who are looking for new strategies to help their students become more effective readers and writers, my focus is my students.

Working with teachers, face to face or online in a "virtual classroom", is inspiring and fun. Reading about my students’ challenges in the classrooms and their own goals for the classroom inspires me to sit down at my desk and work on finding new resources, ideas, and activities that will help them meet their goals.

From my own experiences in teacher education, I wanted to create experiences that help teachers discover their passion for teaching. My goals for my online professional development courses are to provide relevant, timely and engaging material that teachers can immediately bring back into their classrooms.

Hope to see you online soon!
