Penelopes' Bio
It was in the classroom that I learned that children can be taught more effectively through the arts than through lectures and paperwork. If teachers become entertainers, so to speak, they will have more fun, the kids will have more fun, and the learning environment will be joyful.
Penelope is a Learning Handicap and Behavior Transformation Specialist.
She has spent most of her teaching career working with
the " behaviorally challenged".
