A little bit about Mrs. McClain: Mrs. McClain graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with a Master's Degree in Education with an emphasis in Elementary School Counseling in the spring of 2008. While in graduate school, Mrs. McClain also became a National Certified Counselor (NCC). Mrs. McClain attended Penn State for undergraduate school as well, from which she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology in 2005.
Prior to working in Lower Merion, Mrs. McClain was an Elementary School Counselor at Anna B. Pratt Elementary School in North Philadelphia.
Mrs. McClain is currently splitting her time between both Penn Wynne Elementary School and Gladwyne Elementary School. At Penn Wynne, she works with second and fifth grades; at Gladwyne, she works with kindergarten and second grade. Mrs. McClain is at Penn Wynne on Wednesdays and Fridays; she is at Gladwyne on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
Throughout her work as an Elementary School Counselor, Ashley McClain has worked with children on a variety of personal/social issues, such as enhancing social skills, developing healthy coping skills, and facilitating the development of a positive self-concept. Mrs. McClain's work to help a particular child overcome perfectionism was a significant component of her inspiration to write this book. It is hoped that this book can be used to help teach children the invaluable lessons that it is okay to make mistakes, and most importantly, that no one is perfect.
