Jolene Philo graduated from college in 1978 with a major in elementary education, a minor in learning disabilities, and an emphasis in speech and drama. She holds a Masters in Effective Teaching, and has earned forty-five additional graduate hours, most of which are concentrated in language arts, specifically in the writing process and the teaching of writing.
