My name is Sheila Cosey and I just completed the Alternative Certification program at Texas A&M-Commerce. I am certified in 4-8th grade Reading, English Language Arts and Social Studies. I am also currently preparing to start a long-term substitute position as a reading pull-out teacher in Dallas ISD. I will graduate in May 2011 with a Masters in Elementary Education. I am taking this course because I needed another class for financial aid purposes to go along with my last required class to graduate. I have previously taken a technology course and loved the learning process. The last course I took required me to build a website throughout the semester, and this one allows me to create a blog. I am so excited about this new experience that I will be able to use in my classroom and personal life.
I decided to go into teaching after becoming an AVID tutor in 2008 and left my job as an Administrative Assistant for a student loan billing company to do so. Work has not been steady, but I feel much more fulfilled. I am married to a wonderful husband and we have two lovely daughters and one female dog. Yes, the ladies rule in this house! If this factor isn’t already overwhelming for my husband, who is an only child, I have 11 brothers and sisters who I meet with on a weekly basis. My life is a constant family reunion but in my alone time I love to listen to music, read and pray.
Great to have you join us in this course, Shelia! There is so much we can learn from each other this semester - although the semester is only 8 weeks long!
