Genét Simone is an award-winning author, recognized by the NonFiction Authors Association, International Impact Awards, Page Turner Awards, and BookFest Awards for her outstanding debut book, "Teaching in the Dark" -- a memoir that chronicles her first year as a teacher in the Arctic village of Shishmaref, Alaska. Dr. Simone's experiences in that Inuit village heavily impacted her teaching philosophy and pedagogy at four major universities in Minnesota, Colorado, and Washington State, when she served as a faculty member and then Academic Program Director for Western Washington University's Teacher Education Outreach Program in Bremerton. Dr. Simone currently teaches high school in Seattle, and still relies on the lessons she learned in Shishmaref those many years ago.
Dr. Simone is actively promoting her memoir at book fairs and through book talks in Washington, Alaska, and Colorado. She is also writing a sequel to "Teaching in the Dark" -- a series of essays that highlight key lessons she has learned through decades in the teaching profession. Those stories will serve to uplift and inspire teachers to sustain their spirit in one of the most demanding professions in the world, empowering them to create and then demand reforms that make it possible to stay in the profession they love.
