Sandra Robinson

Owner and Consultant

Growing up in rural South Carolina, I experienced firsthand the challenges of living in a small town, but I had caring teachers who encouraged me personally and academically.  This is why I believe so strongly in the power of the teacher to make a difference in the lives of children.  Becoming an effective teacher is about reflection not perfection!  My goal is to empower teachers to become reflective educators who utilize new tools and strategies to create dynamic, standards-based learning experiences for their students.
