A Little About Me

Hello everyone!  My name is Lisa Shears. I am in the Masters of Education in Literacy Studies program (TESOL).  I have been the Elementary District Technology Specialist for Zeeland Public Schools for 5 years.  I also serve as a technology coach and mentor teachers in my district. Prior to my current position, I taught first grade for 3 years and 4th grade Gifted and Talented for 4 years.

I consider myself to be a technology pioneer and a innovator in instruction.  I am constantly looking for ways to use technology to change and enhance teaching and learning in the classroom.

In addition to teaching, I work part-time as a server in a family-owned Italian restaurant in Holland.  I have three children ages 21, 19 and 13 and one adorable English Bulldog named Lucy.

I enjoy running and exercising.  I love learning about languages and I was bitten by the travel bug at a very young age.  I hope to someday visit every corner of the  earth.  My long-term goal is to teach overseas and live in different countries and experience new cultures.
