About Me

My photo
Nancy McNeal
I retired in 2012, after more than 30 years in high school science and elementary ESL classrooms. I'm a wife, mom, and Gran-Nan who lives on a farm and loves to travel, particularly to Africa, where one of my sons and his family lived for 4 years. I'm a Tennessee Academic Specialist, and I love to share ideas and strategies for teaching and learning.
