I'm Scottie Baer and I have been teaching since 1981. I have taught ESL, Special Education, and Regular Education. I earned my B.A. in Psychology and Education at Hood College in Maryland and completed my ESL training at the University of Northern Colorado. I grew up as an army brat and have moved 22 times. I have studied French, Spanish, German, and Sign Language and have lived in England and Germany. My husband was a Software Engineer at Lockheed Martin. My daughter is an artist and novelist and my son was in the Air Force. I enjoy gardening, reading, hiking, cooking, and keeping track of my cat's hunting exploits.
