Hello fellow educators! I'm Lisa, an 8 year veteran teacher at a fantastic little charter middle school, teaching art for a bunch of hilarious and fun 6-8 graders. I'm in the process of getting my professional certification. I have a BFA in Art Education from MSU. I'm very passionate about my subject and love working with kids to pass my love of the arts along. I've been teaching in the same school all my eight years, and it's really become a second home for me. Currently I have four different courses I teach during the year--Beginning Art for 6th Graders, Studio Art, East Asian Arts & Culture, and Computer Graphics & Art. I'm hoping to learn some great tricks and techniques, especially to help me out with keeping current for that last one!

You could call me a "Type A" person. Though I'm "just" an elective teacher, I try to be as involved in my school as possible. I'm part of our school's School Improvement, [|PBIS], and [|No Excuses] teams. I run three after school clubs (Art, Japanese Culture, and Student Government), serve as our school's New Teacher Mentor, and head up the organization of many of our school's various events from Spirit Weeks to the upcoming 8th Grade Graduation. Needless to say, I love being active!

Here's me!
