Bonnie and Shelley have been teaching young children for a combined total of 40 years. Through their teaching partnership, they have cultivated the philosophy of: “Teach smarter, not harder."  In 1997,  they formed a  partnership  known  in education circles as “The K-Crew.” They have published many of their teaching ideas on their website: www.thekcrew.net. Because of the website's popularity, teachers from all over the world have requested more... more ideas, more activities, more management tips, and more workshops in their areas. In response, Bonnie and Shelley created several teacher resource materials, including "Buzz Book- How to Share the Pen." This team presents practical and proven ideas to teach teachers how to teach "smarter" not harder... practical because they use them in their own classrooms, and proven because they've recorded the successes of their own students. These ladies are dynamic! You will realize their love for teaching through their enthusiasm, sense of humor, and "real teachers in real classes" experiences. Participants are guaranteed to go home excited about what they've learned.
