Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Wilhelm brings to her writing over 35 years of experience in the academic world working with students from preschool through college. Graduating from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles with both a Bachelors and Masters Degree, Wilhelm went on to earn credentials in counseling and administration. She taught at the high school level & has held positions as a college dean, a counselor and an assistant principal at the middle school level. Driven by her desire to have a greater impact on elementary school education, Wilhelm secured her life-long "dream job" as an elementary school principal. The last 10 years under her stewardship & in collaboration with her outstanding teaching staff, her school achieved some of the highest test scores in California, & received multiple achievement honors, including two California Distinguished School Awards. She is also a recipient of several Honorary Services Awards & recently received the California PTA's most prestigious award, the Golden Oak Service Award. Happily married for over 33 years to her "best friend", Meriam is the proud parent of three successful adult children with whom she maintains a close family relationship. As a testimony to her child rearing skills with a strong family focus on life-long education, each of her two sons have completed both Bachelors and Masters degrees, one in engineering, one in business, and her daughter is a Registered Nurse with two related undergraduate degrees. Wilhelm & her husband, a recently retired aerospace executive, live in Southern California and spend time walking on the local beaches and traveling when she is not writing or sewing. Wilhelm draws from her sometimes challenging earlier life experiences. Being a full time working mom who managed child care demands while actively supporting each of her kid's homework, sports & scouting demands gave her a unique & relevant basis for the enduring lessons, strategies & recommendations you will find in her writings. Wilhelm gave special import to the value of nightly reading and regularly ended her kids evenings with a Bath, Book and Bed; the title of one of her popular eBooks. Capturing the many actual experiences & demonstrated successful practices from the classroom, the playground & the "principal's office", she brings a balanced approach to the many challenges parents face as they help their kids to navigate through the elementary school years.
