Welcome to my website. My name is Penney Johnson. Currently, I am working on my masters degree in Instruction and Curriculum through Grand Valley State University. I also just recently finished my 2nd bachelor’s degree with a major in Spanish and a minor in History.
My first degree is BFA in graphic design. I take that experience to the classroom daily. It has made me think about how to best organize information for student engagement and understanding. The way in which we experience information visually is key in the classroom. I love playing with content on Smart Board files and thinking of way that my students can easily digest information.
My experience working in education totals ten years and includes teaching ESL abroad, teaching Spanish in Chicago, and also filling various roles in a few Michigan public schools.
The experiences I have had in education have inspired me to dedicate my life to being a teacher. Children and adolescents are our future, and I want to be involved in helping them unite and improve our world.
