English 2 & 2H and ITAI (which I have //**__NO__**// idea what it stands for - no, I'm not kidding) Lots of previous experience - over a dozen years. Private schools, inner-city schools, a good 'ol boys high school where football was king.... I presently hold teaching certificates in four states and have taught in Argentina and China as well. A friend told me it was the BEST place to teach. So far, I'd have to agree! (This is NOT an attempt to suck up - I promise!!!) I went [|white water rafting] in Oregon this summer. I do have a picture to put in here, as soon as I can figure out how to do this... What ITAI stands for. :)
