Professions in Education – Degrees with Teacher Certification

I gave a presentation on multiple intelligences to the San Antonio Writing Project this week, and it went great! I have been asked to give the same presentation to NEISD teachers during on Curriculum Day this August. Thank you so much for providing me with such inspiring content to share with even more people. This program really made a difference in my career!
