Lori is in her first-year at Mt. Juliet High School although this is her fifth year to teach.  She has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Arizona in Political Science and is working on her Master's of Education degree.  She has experience in both middle and high schools.  Courses she has taught are:  Honors Humanities, World History, American History, Reading Development, Language Arts, and Government.  Her prior teaching experience was in San Francisco and Southern Arizona.  Her personal philosophy regarding education is:

"If social science disciplines are presented as a series of facts to be memorized, the end result will be a low-level effort to achieve that end.  When, however, social science classes are viewed as a series of open-ended issues, questions, and problems which have concerned humans from past to present, then teachers infuse content with meaning and develop pupil's abilities to imagine an infinite range of possibilities."
