Bonnie Jones Graham, an online instructor and advisor, has a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Alaska Southeast and additional coursework in Educational Leadership and the Social Sciences. She taught transitional kindergarten and grades one through five, including an innovative multiage program, for the Anchorage (Alaska) School District. After many years focused on pre-service and graduate field experiences, licensure, and teaching education foundations she returned to early childhood education. Bonnie’s teaching and advising is grounded in her profound commitment to non-traditional students, who, as she did, frequently begin their journey toward licensure in a childcare program, then achieving an AA followed by a bachelor’s degree and beyond.
