This seasoned professional has so many Tips and Tidbits to offer, so much to tell, and so much to share. Pat has had an exemplary career and has taught in many areas including: primary grades, vocal music, art resource, gifted education (15 years), preschool coordinator, English as a Second Language, and courses in special education at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
