About the teacher:

Sharon has a BA in Psychology and a MS in Clinical Psychology, both from Vanguard University. Before she started teaching she worked as a developmental play therapist (using Stanley Greenspan’s Floortime method) and then as an ABA therapist (applied behavioral analysis), working with children with special needs.

She has been teaching at EIE Academy since 2014. She also taught American Sign Language, Psychology and Sociology full time at Maranatha High School in Pasadena for six years. She has a 6 1/2 year old daughter, Emma, 4 year old son, Daniel. At the end of the 2018 school year Sharon decided to resign from full time teaching at Maranatha so she can “stay home” and homeschool her children as well as offer Psychology and ASL classes at EIE.

Course Objective:

This course is designed to be a general introduction to psychology. The student will become familiar with the various aspects of psychological theory and hands-on application. This course is intended to be engaging, relevant, and an interactive experience.  The exact topics will start with the basics of Psychology and then will be geared toward the specific interests of the class. example of some topics may include: child development, sleep and dreams, memory, drugs, and personality disorders.
