= = = = = Welcome to the FCS Wiki created by Mrs. Post =

I am looking forward to a great year at Faith Christian School this year and I am so excited to be back to FCS as a full-time teacher this year. I will be teaching three math classes as well as Computer Applications for 7th and 8th grade and I will be working with the Rosetta Stone Foreign Language program.

A new computer lab has been created on the second floor to house these new classes and it will be exciting to use this new lab for computer classes and foreign languages, as well as for other high school classes at FCS.

//**About Me:**// I just celebrated my 10th wedding anniversary and my husband John and I live in Stroudsburg with our two cats, Harley and Honey. This summer finished my Master's of Education degree at East Stroudsburg University in the [|Instructional Technology] program. I will also receive Pennsylvania Teaching Certifications in Instructional Technology K-12 and Mathematics 7-12. Instructional Technology seeks to utilize technology, such as computers, to enhance and augment traditional instruction. My goal as I return to FCS this year is to find creative ways to use technology in math as well as in other subject areas and to help students recognize the value and power of technology in their learning.

I am a 1996 graduate of [|Houghton College], where I majored in Mathematics and Secondary Education. My first teaching job out of college was right here at Faith Christian School! I was a Computer/Business Teacher here at FCS for five years (1996-2001), researching and creating the curriculum we now use in the computer program. After that, I went on to be the Technology Coordinator and Ministry Assistant at Pocono/Slate Belt Youth for Christ (you may have seen me at a Roller Skate event or a Pocono Mountain Club!) I also tutored several students through my involvement with the local homeschool co-op PCHEC as well as YFC.

Last Fall, I decided to go back to school full-time to pursue my Master's degree. As a graduate assistant in our department, I had the privilege of presenting at two conferences with my advisor, including the [|PETE & C] conference in Hershey, PA and the [|One-to-One]Computing Conference at Penn State University. My area of interest and area of reserch is in using technology to enhance math instruction at the high school level. This summer, as part of my final requirements for my Master's degree, I worked with the Upward Bound program at ESU, a program for disadvantaged teenagers to help give them the tools and encouragement to go on to college after high school.

I was introduced to the Poconos through my work as a camp counselor and activities coordinator at [|Streamside]Camp and Conference Center throughout my college years and I moved to the Poconos after graduating from Houghton and getting my first job at Faith. Since moving here 13 years ago, I have attended [|Pocono Evangelical Free Church] in Reeders and my husband and I have been involved in our small group for over 10 years and I am involved with our women's ministry.
