Conception, Incubation and Birth!
A long time ago, far away across the sea, on a historic island, full of castles, rolling green hills, windy moors, tiny villages, haunted houses, witches, monsters and fairy godmothers there lived a little itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, incey wincey, yellow polka dot bikini of a girl who had a dream of becoming a teacher of Down syndrome Students. So, she worked day and night to secure herself a place in a University just beside one of those massive grey castles and set about poring over hundreds of texts, listening to what the masters had to tell her, to learn her style of pedagogy through Drama.
As life has its seasons and diversions, so that little girl never did become a teacher of Down syndrome Students but after many, many years of travelling and teaching all over the world, teaching tens of different cultures and training thousands of different teachers from exotic and not so exotic countries, she fulfilled a new Dream………and here it is: SHELTA
It needed putting “OUT THERE” to help to inspire teachers to become PASSIONATE about the teaching/learning process and so that little girl fulfilled a new Dream………an on-line teachers' academy reaching out across the globe to help teachers everywhere: SHELTA
