About. Why Expat Educator? It began with my mom. She was one of those early childhood educators that parents begged to have teacher their child. Even in her retirement, she dreamed of volunteering to teach one struggling reader every day until he or she learned to read. She passed the same month this blog started. It is dedicated to her. Over time, the blog has morphed. It begins with teaching and tech stuff, written while I was teaching 5th grade at an international school in Hong Kong.
What is Expat Educator now that I am a Head of Junior School in Australia? Leading change has it’s own set of challenges. Please join me on this journey by signing up for email updates from Expat Educator: Who am I? I am a lifelong learner, refining my leadership skills. My 16 years in education have provided me with experiences instructing diverse students in elementary and middle school settings. In 2003, I became involved with strategic planning.
