Question
Hello Debba, I'm working on my final project for a class entitled Adult Education and training. My project is to interview a teacher who has worked with adults. I am to deduce their philosophy and practice of adult education. Will you consider being interviewed for my project? I would appreciate your help.  Terri

Answer
Dear Terri,

As much as I would be happy to be interviewed, my teaching experience is with young people - not adults.  The oldest people I have taught are about 14 or 15.  The bulk of my experience is with early elementary with several years teaching Middle School computer and a little High School (home ec).  

So, knowing that, do you still want me ... and, if so, how do you think my answers will contribute to your overall project?

I have been teaching for 30 years with a MEd in Reading and Language Arts, a BA in Elementary Education. For 6 years I taught computer to grades K-8. I have taught in combined grades (K-2 and 2-3 splits)in the US and overseas.
