Hello, my name is Yvette Cochran. I am originally from San Diego, CA but have lived all over the US! I attended high school at San Pasqual Academy, a Christian co-ed boarding school in the Escondido Valley. I graduated with a BA in Communications from Cal State University San Bernardino...a long time ago! :) After college I married my highschool sweetheart and have spent the last 15 years raising our family. We have 2 daughters, 13 and 10 years old. They are our everything!
My experience with technology is pretty basic. I have been an exclusive PC user until very recently. It is because of my teenager's persistence that I am very quickly converting to the wonderful Mac world! I currently use Windows XP on my primary computer at home. I basically depend on technology for email, research, and texting of course!
The CSUSM/COE Mission Statement speaks to me on many levels and most definitely reiterates the purpose for my decision to become an educator. I believe diversity, educational equity and social justice should be reflected in every teachers classroom. Remaining current on advance professional practices is crucial in the education world. This will help give our students some of the resources needed to become professional and successful individuals!
