Ms. Brasher's IDEAS
Welcome to 6th grade IDEAS at Trent Lott Academy!
Hi! I am Ms. Michele Brasher, and I am a 6th grade teacher for the Gifted education program, IDEAS, in the Pascagoula-Gautier School District. This is my 29th year as an educator, and my 18th year to teach IDEAS! I have a bachelor's degree and master's degree in Elementary Education; and I am a National Board Certified Teacher.
Although I was born in New Orleans, I raised my family here and consider this home. I am a graduate of PHS and have lived in Pascagoula for most of my life. In my spare time, I enjoy coast life! I love to go the beach or up the river! I also love to read and hang out with my friends and family. In addition to teaching, I am the director of children's ministry at my church.
My students are the best and the brightest! We study communication skills, Latin and Public Speaking. In addition, I teach logical, critical thinking and problem solving. We study different artists and the elements of art; and then use the artists work to inspire our own creations.
My goal is for student to become Self-Directed learners who explore topics that interest them on their own. Learning how to research and apply information leads to Life-Long learning habits.
