Shari Barrett

Having received her degree in secondary education, Shari Barrett fully expected to be a classroom teacher until she began home schooling her oldest son in 1986. Together, she and her husband, Steve, instructed both of their children through high school. When their sons reached secondary level, Shari began teaching other children along with her own. Her goal has been to prepare young people for college and future careers. Wishing for a more user-friendly composition curriculum, she began transcribing her lectures. After much labor, these lectures became the composition text, "Put That In Writing". Using this tool, Shari currently offers classes to home school students in the Portland area and continues to develop her writing courses.
