Accomplishments
I was hired, with my two children at toddler age, to teach elementary public school to road workers children, 35 miles from the closest highway, up in the mountains with no telephone, and mail being delivered twice a week. was a given opportunity to work with God, and go to Him for wisdom. 
My students had not been beyond a town of 10,000 population. The students and I earned money in order to visit Denver, Colorado for one week of educational experiences. Truly these two years were unforgettable.
Teaching on Native American reservation in NW British Columbia was more fun than challenging, even without electricity. The other student teacher and I collaborated on curriculum and lesson plans using primitive supplies in order to effectively teach church school, grades K4.
While tutoring 9th graders in rural British Columbia before I finished college, I ascertained a student's learning disability and created differentiated instruction and assessments with wonderful, successful results.

August 1980 to June 1981Fairhaven Academy Church School - Kitwanga, BC
Though our inconveniences were tremendous, it was an amazing year teaching without electricity, with only plastic covering windows of our school, and while the buildings were being constructed with chainsaws.
Without electricity, and crude tables with benches for our desks, we became adept in creating lessons for each student by hand. Our lesson planning involved a great deal of kinesthetics, in order to connect our students' backgrounds from logging, fishing, carpentry, boating, etc. to academia.
We had the privilege of very interesting field trips, which included mushroom hunting in the foothills of the "Seven Sisters" mountain range (one peak was a glacier); singing for the wake of the wife of a Haida Indian chief; caroling in yet another Haida Indian village, complete with totem poles.
