About the Author

Hello, my name is Deandra Dean-McLeod, and I am the founder of Education Innovations. I have been an elementary school teacher for several years. I love to create innovative ways to teach while encouraging students to become self-learners. I began developing educational products several years ago to help my daughter and students learn to read while developing language skills. I currently have over twenty products on the market and others in the production phase. I love to develop new product ideas that will be exciting to the learners and helpful to the educators. I am a product developer and freelance writer for educational publishing companies that are seeking to expand their product lines into additional subject areas and levels. Contact me, Deandra Dean-McLeod, if you would like to discuss the learning materials I have created or if you have materials you need developed for growing your educational product line.

Sincerely,
Deandra
