The School Year Navigation for Each Class Experience (Elementary, STEM camps, High School and etc) is being ADDED for Your Review!
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. With teenage summer jobs in daycares and STEM summer camps, plus 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.
