Welcome to Ms. Hackney's Website

This website is to commemorate the accomplishments I have achieved over the last two years of graduate school at Michigan State University.  At this moment I am completing my Masters of Arts in Education from MSU with a focus on Literacy Education as well as Technology and Learning Education.

As a teacher I understand the importance of learning and continuing education.  The courses I have taken over the last two years have helped me to expand my knowledge base, especially with completing the graduate program online.

As an early childhood educator, I really can't imagine anything more challenging and rewarding at the same time.  The most important thing I can ever hope to convey is that the rewards of teaching far exceed any challenges.  If I can impact one student's life in such a positive way that they'll enjoy learning for years to come, then that is an accomplishment in itself!

I invite you to take a look at my website, get a glimpse in to who I am as a person and as a teacher.  I encourage you to read my synthesis, learn a bit more about me, and venture further while looking through my coursework. 

Through the project of creating my capstone portfolio, I have challenged myself both as a teacher and a student.  I have remembered how it felt to become frustrated with an assignment or a specific task and I have felt the success of completing that task.  I have reflected on the past two years and really thought about how MSU has impacted my education and teaching.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments.
