Lizz Goldman has been happily pursuing her dream job of teaching since the early 1970s. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts, Boston and graduate degrees from San Diego State University. She's taught grades 3-12 and several college classes with a wide range of student populations. Lizz feels that she was born to teach and continues on a path of lifelong learning. Her passion is teaching those who want to learn, while encouraging those reluctant learners to see the joy in reading, writing and communicating. She considers teaching teachers a wonderful treat, as she's able to share their commitment, dedication and passion for what they do every day. Lizz and her husband enjoy traveling and working with animals in their free time. They have two grown children and two grandchildren who live within ten minutes of them.
