edit data

author, painter, poet, lifelong educator and creativity researcher for the past 20 years, dean's excellence in education leadership, administration and policy MA, brings a fresh breeze to the school bag, with creativity and innovation throughout the learning rainbow. Michelle wrote 10 teaching-learning books - writing, drawing and painting. She believes that much of the social-emotional problems derive from aggression based on stifled creativity. To free such creative thinking, we need to construct creative learning opportunities for self-expression that will lead to excellence, through self-directedness that comes from teachers, parents and grandparents believing in children and youth's strengths.

I identified with the characters, was sorry and happy with their downfalls as with their precious moments. Most of all I learned that sending good words to the world can never be underestimated. I am just a writer. but words open worlds up.

“The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.”
― Jean Piaget

If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
