Lynne has over thirty-five years of experience as an educator and is currently a Teacher Consultant at the James Madison University Center for Economic Education. She is the author of five teacher resource books, including Fantastic Social Studies Lessons Using Literature (Pieces of Learning, 2005).
Lynne says, "EconEdLink has given me a venue to share my two passions: economic education and children's literature. Teachers tell me that because of their packed schedules and standards focused curriculum, it's more important than ever to teach interdisciplinary lessons. I'm more than happy to help them out."
