Disclosure

I explore a variety of educational topics on this blog, Mrs. Anderson’s Class, the no cost Google’s Blogger.com/Blogspot.com.

Making a Living

I am an Intervention Specialist at Barnesville Middle School in Barnesville, Ohio. I am entering my 7th year of teaching. My first three years, I was an Intervention Specialist for grades 5-8 then decided to try my hand at Kindergarten for two years. I learned that Kindergarten was a fun age but being a Middle School Intervention Specialist was the right fit for me. After my two year experience as a Kindergarten teacher, I returned to the middle school as a 7th grade Intervention Specialist.

So, you’re a blogger, huh?

Yes, I am a blogger. This is the first time that I will be blogging. I created Mrs. Anderson’s Class blog for a graduate course that I am taking at Boise State University. I don’t get paid for blogging, nor do I advertise on my blog. I do receive a grade for the course and graduate credit towards my masters degree in educational technology. I am writing for the purpose of learning. What I write are my opinions and thoughts only and not a reflection of Barnesville Schools or Boise State University.

DISCLOSURES
