Shirley Smith
Shirley Smith is a teacher of students with mild to moderate learning disabilities. She graduated
from the University of Texas with a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering and worked for six years in the construction industry, which included K-12 educational facilities. These experiences eventually led her to pursue a teaching credential from San Francisco State University. Since 2008, she has worked with students from elementary school to grade 12. One of her student’s favorite lessons is taught by her fictitious character, Mrs. Liliuokalani, a feisty and hilarious Science teacher, with a bad Hawaiian accent. In 2012, Shirley earned the “Iron Science Teacher” title at the Exploratorium’s Teacher Institute for her original story of “The 3 Little Chickens”, as told by Farmer Smith. Shirley is passionate about instilling a love for learning in her students and excels at creating environments where all students learn, regardless of their learning differences. In her spare time, Shirley enjoys cooking, gardening, hiking,
meeting new people, and capsizing dinghy boats as she learns to become a sailor.
