Mary Bennett

I reside in the Central Valley of California and have spent pretty much all of my adult life working in the field of education.

After graduating from California State University, Fresno, I worked as a long-term substitute teacher for the Fresno Unified School District . I then went to work as a sales representative for my family owned educational publishing company. In addition, I began to coordinate and collaboratively develop professional development courses and workshops for educators. I am the current Director of Curriculum Services Associates, which provides graduate-level, professional development opportunities to educators throughout the United States . In addition, I am a Blackboard Trainer and an Instructional Designer within the California State University system.

In 2003 I earned my MA in Teaching with an Educational Technology emphasis. In addition, I completed an Online Teaching and Learning Certification and I am a Certified Blackboard Trainer.
