I am an ESL instructor in the Adult Education program of Mid-Plains Community College. I have a degree in French, but the idea of teaching my mother tongue as a foreign language intrigued me. So...I volunteered 10 years ago, and have been going ever since. I love it, and am constantly learning new ways of getting people to learn and speak English.

Hi, I am Sheri, director and teacher of a very small adult ed program that is part of the local public schools. In a small program that means each one of the "3 of us" does a variety of jobs...but that does also make it easy for us to be connected to each other within that small group. Looking forward to be part of a BIGGER group!

I grew up on a 36 section sheep and cattle ranch in Wyoming. I decided to be an educator while attending the Wyoming rural school. It wa at seventh grade that I made this decision. I taught in an isolated Wyoming area with an A.A. degree from Sheridan, Wyoming Community College. I have been teaching in Nebraska for many years. I liked my teaching position in intermediate elemenatry school. For nine years, I taught three levels of 4th, 5th, and 6th grade science. Teaching is in my blood and I keep on teaching and enjoy creating curriculum to grab students into the lifelong learning mode.
