1. Educational leadership, began in 2006; will finish 08/2008, including principal certification.
2. 10 years of teaching experience, most of it overseas. I have taught grades 3-10. Most recently I was a curriculum coordinator at the Åmerican International School of Bucharest.
3. I started (and for three years) ran a school for street children in Bucharest (1997-2000). Before that I was a journalist for 10 years.

6. Help topic: Technologically–nothing. But I know a lot about curriculum and instruction.
