Welcome to my Classroom Experience Overview !!!
Welcome to my Classroom Experience Overview !!!
Hi, I’m Ms. Lowery, your teacher and guide throughout this Educational Journey. I have been a public school educator for more than 20 years in Texas and New Jersey. Including my teenage summer jobs in daycares and STEM summer camps and my college Work-Study role as a Computer Workshop Trainer, I have more than 25 years of teaching and training experience. I LOVE LEARNING NEW THINGS!
As a Business Technology Teacher, I design learning around current business trends, workforce demands, and technology innovation. My instructional foundation is project-based and blended learning, incorporating textbooks, websites, apps, business-focused media, and other available technologies.
This journey highlights my various teaching environments, sample projects, and professional experiences. Rather than pursuing traditional school administration, I expanded my leadership as an elected School Board Member, including Vice President of the Board, Curriculum, Instruction & Technology Chairwoman, Finance & Operations Committee Member, and a Board State Delegate.
My goal is to use education, technology, and leadership to support 21st-century learners beyond the traditional classroom.

Educational Career titles and access to resources vary throughout a campus and/or district. A strong foundation in pedagogy and andragogy, staying current on business & technology trends, and being an intrinsic creative problem solver have enabled me to build effective procedures in every learning environment.
