Sharon Atkinson
I am a teacher.  As a teacher my gift is presenting concepts in a simple and hopefully entertaining way; the patience to let my students learn academics as well as self-motivation and discipline.   I bring to the job the experience of teaching elementary, middle school, high school, special education, language arts, math, history, and computers, as well as the joy and pain of learning and accepting new challenges.  I look forward to meeting with you and learning about your school.
