Hello!
My background:  I earned my master's degree in Instructional Technology from Saint Joseph's University in May 2009 and i earned my bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Temple University. My original teaching certification was earned in the Master Teacher program at Gwynedd Mercy College. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Educational Leadership at Gwynedd Mercy University.  I hold teaching certifications in Business, Computers, Information Technology, Marketing and Distributive Education, Cooperative Education, Safety/Driver's Education, and Technology Education. In addition to my teaching duties at Council Rock School District, I am the faculty Advisor for the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) Club. 

This year I am teaching Accelerated Accounting, Accelerated Business Law, Honors Business Management, Accelerated Computer Applications, and Cooperative Education classes. ]]> 2016-06-13 15:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114504008 sherpinsky_v https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114504753 2016-06-13 15:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114504753 sherpinsky_v https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114516322 Sherp-A-Palooza]]> 2016-06-13 17:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114516322 sherpinsky_v https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114546907 When I began teaching I searched for a philosophy I could adopt that embodied what a modern-day educator needs to do to be successful. This philosophy is used with permission from one of the professors from MCCC and represents that goal and what I try to practice everyday as a teacher. 
My philosophy of education promises a firm commitment to educate students to their highest potential.  To fulfill this academic mandate I strive to make my instruction collaborative, communicative, and customized. Effective collaborative learning involves a consistent, mutual effort by both the instructor and the student. My role as instructor increasingly moves to that of facilitator or guide. As this occurs, my students and I become partners in moving them toward self-discovery and content mastery in my discipline. To make my instruction communicative, I begin with a syllabus which is clear, concise, and complete. I encourage regular questions in class, supply careful directions for all assignments, tests, and projects, and offer honest, detailed commentary on all student work. Customized education promises to be tomorrow’s tradition. Customization in my classes begins with my recognition of diversity in learning styles and comprehension rates, as well as cultural, economic, intellectual, and emotional variety among my students. Customizing my students’ learning also requires my willingness to consider my students’ work, home, and life needs, with a firm purpose of helping them to learn around those obligations which burden their lives.]]> 2016-06-13 23:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114546907 sherpinsky_v https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114597807 2016-06-14 11:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114597807 sherpinsky_v https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114598355 2016-06-14 11:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114598355 sherpinsky_v https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114598401 2016-06-14 11:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114598401 sherpinsky_v https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114598467 2016-06-14 11:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114598467 sherpinsky_v https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114598624 2016-06-14 11:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114598624 sherpinsky_v https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114598943 2016-06-14 12:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114598943 sherpinsky_v https://padlet.com/sherpinsky_v/by97geki33qs/wish/114933693 I earned this nickname from my students during some time back and the kids think it is funny.
