Gail has been a teacher-leader for the past 20 years in her school district. Her teaching experience has been at both the elementary and middle school levels, focusing on math and leadership classes. Her introduction to S.M.A.R.T. Goals was in the spring of 2006. This proved to be a process that changed her educational life in dramatic ways. Since that time, she has been involved in every way possible to share the S.M.A.R.T. Goals Process with others in the hopes of it transforming their classrooms as it’s changed hers.
