The Short Version! About me
My name is Sylvia Coleman. You may address me as Dr. Coleman. I have taught in middle and high school settings, as well as access distance learning. I have taught for 19+ years. I enjoy learning new things and sharing my knowledge with those around me. I enjoy family and friends. When I am not participating with school related activities, I enjoy remodeling parts of my home and my doll house. I also enjoy exploratory food preparation.
