Question
What makes your curriculum interesting or valuable?
Answer
I was born in Europe, Scotland,and have traveled the globe. These experiences have given me a unique perspective on how to view the business world. Diversity awareness and cultural inclusion are essential people skills in the workplace, Being able to talk about them in the classroom is a positive way to learn why they are so important for professional success.
My curriculum is valuable because I relate the course material to the business world in which my students work at this time in their lives and project it into the future. People skills, managerial skills, and business communication skills, are the foundation of the workplace.

Question
What are some ways that you help your students succeed?
Answer
Personal meetings, eliminating as much stress from the course as possible, creating a safe and secure classroom environment, and finding out what is happening in their lives. Going to school is not a stand-alone endeavor. My students are working, playing sports, parenting, etc. I help them overcome the obstacles created by having too many time demands.
I also include the four different types of learning styles into my course material. In addition, I open the complete course from day one to allow the students to work within their own schedule.
