Amanda's Journey to Education...

Follow me as I embark on the exciting journey to become a teacher!

A Great Way to Utilize Service Learning in A Classroom!

I am certified to teach Business, and hope to find a job teaching Multimedia and Desktop Publishing because those are my two favorite areas in Business Education.  I often wondered how I could incorporate projects that are being done in the "real world" to my class, and I was so excited to find this article.  It shows how a business class linked Word Processing curriculum to real world applications utilizing Service Learning.  I hope to be able to utilize this form of teaching and partnering with local nonprofit organizations in my area when I get a job.  I think this is such a unique way to show students the necessary curriculum, but allow them unique opportunities to partner up with businesses in our community.

Each student has the potential to reach higher than they expect. The way we as educators help them to achieve this potential is to expect nothing less than their absolute best!
  • About Me...
      Hello Everyone!! My name is Amanda Shoup and I am from Parkers Chapel, a small community in El Dorado, Arkansas. I am happily married to my wonderful husband, Jeremy, and we have a seven year-old son, Trace. I have a bachelor's degree in Business Management with an emphasis in Marketing, and I am currently enrolled in the Master of Arts in Teaching Program at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. I currently do not have a job, and I am certified to teach Business Education in grades 7th – 12th, but living in a small town, those jobs are few and far between. I am not giving up hope, though, because I know there is a job for me, I just hope it comes along soon! My hobbies include whatever sport my son is playing, which is currently Pee Wee Football, doing home improvement projects, hunting, and spending time with my family. I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me through the MAT program, and into the field of education!
