About Me

Dr. Margo Turner
I've held a human brain in my hands...and spend lots of time talking, reading, writing about the best ways we help brains learn. I've done this as a college professor, classroom teacher, children's minister, literacy specialist, workshop presenter, certified trainer for Jensen Learning Corp., key note speaker, and most importantly, as a mom to twins. After 30 years working in education (plus all those years sitting in desks) I believe good teachers are made, not born, and most likely are the hope for America, and even the world. And yes, I love apples!
