Hello everyone,

First of all, I would like to thank you for taking a look at the about the authors page. I believe that its important to know the background of the authors. I know that not as individual authors but as a team of intellectuals, we will have a book beyond the horizons of any other textbook before. We will soar to the top and educate you, our readers, through different techniques and writing styles. On behalf of the authors from Old Dominion University's 2008-2009 Foundations of Education and Instructional Assessment class, we would like to personally thank you.

My name is Krista Russell and I am not only a student, but also a future teacher. I will be gaining my masters in Interdisciplinary Studies (Teacher Prep PreK-6 Program) in 2011. I look forward to the advantages and opportunities I will gain from this accomplishment. That's right, Elementary is my goal. At that age, I feel as if I have a great chance of really impacting their lives and making them into the great citizens of America I know they will become. Plus, at the elementary school age there is more of a chance to incorporate music into my teaching style. I am very passionate about music and look forward to enhancing students learning. I hope that by being an intricate part of the making of this book, I will be able to help future teachers and parents in gaining valuable insight into the foundations of education as well as instructional assessment.

Teaching is an art. Teaching philosophies range from simplistic to complex. Teaching is a job for those who are passionate, caring, and understanding. I hope to help my future students by providing a classroom full of new technologies and other hands on experiences. I will not be the traditional teacher. I want for my students to be the teachers and for me to guide them through there learning experiences. I want to be known as the "fun" teacher, but I also want my students to learn new things and have a wide understanding of various topics. I believe when you are having fun, you are learning more.

Want to learn more? Read about the other brilliant and educated authors and keep looking for updates on our textbook "Foundation of Education and Instructional Assessment: Edition 3."

Enjoy!
