Mrs. Juliet Mcfarland

I love creating art, especially oil painting!  I also love being creative with technology. I spend a lot time with my family and have a lot of interests in various things.  

I have a long line of educational experience, even back in high school. As a high school student, I led an after school art program for younger students, participated and held offices in Art and TSA clubs, and taught personal art lessons. 

In college, while attending (more than) full-time as a college student, I volunteered at childcare centers and Preschool/ Head-Start centers regularly each week, observed and volunteered in schools regularly, continued teaching personal art lessons, and substitute taught full-time during my last few years of college. During this time as a full-time college student I also taught in three full-term substitute teacher positions (at WCHS - Biological, Physical, and Earth Science, Walker Elementary - self-contained, and Wayne County ATC - Health Sciences).

I have taught, as a certified teacher in 1st (self-contained), 2nd (Writing, Math), 5th (Reading, Science, Math), 6th, 7th, and 8th grades (Art). 

My professional certifications are in: Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education (birth-PreK), Elementary Education (P-5), Educational Leadership/Principalship (P-12), and Art Education (P-12).  I hold 5 college degrees (2 Associate, 1 Bachelors, and 2 Masters) but am so grateful to get to teach my passion, ART!!! 

I currently teach Art (grades 6-8) and am a Digital Learning Coach (DLC) for our staff.  My purpose as a DLC is to assist in providing an enriched experience for our students, staff, and parents as technologies develop, change, and improve.  As a DLC, I welcome you to please let me know if there is anything I can assist you with, whether it's finding a website to make your life easier, make learning more fun or engaging, or to troubleshoot through technological problems you encounter.

To provide the best quality of education to my students, I also take college classes and complete professional development in areas relating to everything from 3D printing, technology-integration, art, theater, and much more in order to provide a richer experience for my students and to continue to develop as a life-long learner.
