I have been teaching FACS for 12 years both at the middle school and high school level. Before I was a teacher I worked in the custom sportswear industry.
I do a lot of out of the box creative projects in my classroom. I love to incorporate technology, STEM, and hands-on projects in my classroom. My students complete a lot of hands-on projects--taking traditional FACS projects and adding STEM and technology components. Most of my TPT products can be used in a physical, virtual or blended classroom.
