Need To Know

Miss Cooper’s (5) SUCCESS Strategies

I will respect you if you will respect me, too!

Have a sense of humor…if you don’t have one, get one (check eBay or Amazon, you could probably get one cheap).

Look side to side. For the next nine months, you are all brothers and sisters (a team). Play nice. If you have something unpleasant to say—refrain. Tell your dog.

You don’t have to raise your hand, but respect your turn to speak. Respect your brothers’ and sisters’ turns to speak, too.

Ideas and thoughts are allowed and expected, but with intelligent discretion. And just because we discuss, interject, and jest…doesn’t mean we “hate.” NO HARD FEELINGS ALLOWED!

About Me

My basic social character is that of thirty year-old, rambunctious and FULL of energy, 5’3”, red haired, green eyed, sportier of retro/ colorful clothing who lives in an old Victorian house. I teach Critical Thinking, English Composition, and Effective Speech at Pittsburgh Technical Institute (PTI), and I was born in Pittsburgh, but raised in Butler, PA; I was formerly a senior high school English teacher who taught British Literature to seniors for four and a half years at Butler Area Senior High School (BSHS, Butler, PA). I have been teaching college classes since 2008, when I graduated with my Master's degree in Instructional Leadership and English.
