Melissa Williams

Melissa Williams graduated from Southern Nazarene University where she majored in Early Childhood Education and minored in Elementary Education. She has 18 years combined experience of teaching in the public classroom, homeschool instructor to her four children, and tutoring in homeschool co-ops. Because learning is one of the greatest gifts that the Lord has given to us; Melissa finds it a joy to be on a continuous path of learning that leads the mind and soul on a journey of expectant wonder and delight in what is true, good, and beautiful. This joy of hers propels her forward and urges her to join with and assist others to experience a kind of learning that moves knowledge beyond stale information that is to be worked to death in the mind for utilitarian purposes to an education which takes what we learn (our knowledge) and expands the world around us so that we may delight in our Creator and his good creation as we joyfully go forth doing those things to what each of us are called.
Some favorite ways of restful learning for her include: going on hikes with her family, sitting outside while watching and listening to birds, reading poetry and great stories, listening to podcasts.
