Hello, welcome to 1 World Education. When I began teaching children and teens in danger to themselves or others, my teacher’s toolbox was empty, except for a big heart for kids. But I immediately discovered that a big heart was not enough to transform behavior and raise academic performance, which was often far below grade level.

I began experimenting with techniques to reach and teach my challenged and challenging students. I am excited to share with you, some of my philosophies, techniques, and educational stories. But I have to warn you that the person who was transformed the most was the teacher, me, Mrs. T. You can find out more about this on the page, About Penelope.
