Karri Salas

<p>Karri Salas has been a teacher in a classroom for 12 years, but she has<br /> been teaching for as long as she can remember! Though she never wanted to<br /> be a teacher when she entered college, her desire to help others and inspire<br /> students to achieve what they thought was impossible ultimately led her into the<br /> education profession. After graduating with a B.S. Degree in chemistry and<br /> Masters Degree in teaching, Karri has worked tirelessly with students in public,<br /> charter, and private schools.<br /> Now as an educational consultant and curriculum director, Karri hopes to help<br /> parents, students, and professionals to learn in their own time and in the way that<br /> benefits them. She has always had a progressive nature about education and<br /> believes the traditional education system can stifle creativity and the ability to<br /> learn how to learn.<br /> &quot;In real life, learning is like a Cold Stone Ice Cream Love It Bowl&trade;. Some people<br /> need chocolate ice cream with gummy bears as their flavor of learning. That<br /> isn&#39;t how I dish up my learning, but it works for some! Unfortunately, our<br /> education system only comes in one flavor: Vanilla.&quot;</p>
