In 2004, Cheryl's enthusiasm for educating took her on a new adventure, sharing her love of knowledge with the gifted and talented students. Challenging these creative students to excel beyond their own boundaries has been a commitment she set for herself and students. Cheryl’s dedication to educating has not stopped in the classroom. She combined her expertise with second language, and gifted students as a team member designed to assist Title 1 teachers to understand minority-gifted children. The team has shared strategies to recognize characteristics in minority gifted and how to enhance their learning styles. She has also taught workshops to educators on topics such as; creative centers for primary and intermediate teachers, engaging computer software, NASA in the classroom, writing traits and literature, characteristics of minority gifted students, understanding multiple intelligences in the classroom, higher level thinking strategies, and how to use creativity in the classroom.
