Susie's Experience
Susie’s career has a depth in the realities of the public school classroom that a full-length career in teaching affords. Consulting with teachers of writing via the Gateway Writing Project in the St. Louis area, writing and editing for the Santa Fe Center for Transformational School Leadership, and contributing poetry to ethicalela.com keeps Susie's focus on writing and what that brings to transformational change in schools and in our lives.

About Susie Morice
Susie rounds out her professional focus with poetry writing, birding, music, a love of the outdoors, and learning Spanish. "Bicycling keeps me out in the fresh air. I rode the Katy Trail across Missouri a few years back and rode scads of miles in Michigan and Wisconsin. After riding Iowa’s RAGBRAI for six straight summers, three bike-group loops in Michigan, Iowa’s Raccoon River Valley Trail, and recently the High Trestle Trail, I’m focusing now on more poetry, music, songwriting, singing, and español! I play acoustic guitar and write my own songs. Visiting Wyoming and engaging in guitar-pickin’ good times there with my friends, I soak up the Bighorn Mountains and the Antelope Butte Festival and good times in Story and Sheridan, WYO. Treks to Boise, ID and Portland, OR keep me connected to my dearest family. Here at home, my neighborhood, my book groups and writing group are a fantastic collection of thinkers and dear friends. We keep learning about this world and the people in it. Always exploring new places, I have loved experiences as far away as Tasmania, but I also find the nearby Confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers a wonderful haven for nature's inspiration."
