Jeffers-Elliott was born. Her formal education began at the Combermere All Age School after which she then advanced to the Charlestown Secondary School. Upon completion of her secondary education and having great admiration for teachers, she embarked on a career in the teaching profession in 1977. She pursued a two year course at the St. Kitts-Nevis Teachers Training College (now the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College from 1982-1984. In addition, Mrs. Elliott pursued and successfully completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Educational Administration (honors) at the University of the West Indies (UWI) - Cave Hill Campus, Barbados 1998 - 2000.
Having spent twenty six years as a classroom teacher, Mrs. Elliott also served as Head Teacher for nine years, 2003 - 2012 and Education Officer from 2012 - 2016 in Nevis. Her love, passion and enthusiasm for poetry prompted her to write this anthology. She has assisted in training many students to enter elocution and other poetry competitions.
One of the many highlights which Mrs. Elliott recalls as Head Teacher was when her team assisted students in being victorious in all three categories of an elocution competition to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Independence in Nevis for Primary School students in 2008.
It is hoped that those who read will be motivated to encourage others to use the art form of poetry more to convey their thoughts and observations in order to inspire others.показать меньше
