Greetings! I have been teaching FACS (Human Services) for almost 15 years and each year there are always changes to the courses and content that I teach! The courses offered this year include ProStart 1 (culinary), ProStart 2 (culinary), Child Development 1, Child Development 2, 7th & 8th grade FACS, and Pre-Employment Strategies. My program involves hands-on learning, problem solving, and reflection. I also like to give my students choice in what they’re learning and making so they’re more invested and interested!

I am also the work-based learning coordinator which means I help students gain employability skills find a job in the community and help them tie their job to their future. Riceville offers a lot of job opportunities to students and we are starting apprenticeship programs as well! Seniors must complete a job shadow prior to graduation to help them identify their interests and strengths. I am always looking for business partnerships so please reach out if you would like to collaborate!

If you are ever wondering what a “home ec” classroom looks like these days, stop in and I’d love to show you!
