About Me
- Susie Williams
- I have been a home schooling parent, classroom teacher, teacher of students with special needs, tutor, designer of educational enrichment programs and materials. I sometimes call myself retired though I don't imagine I will ever really retire from my passions, one of which is alternative and creative education and the resources that drive good homeschooling experiences, summer enrichment programs and alternative education.
