er name is always
Goldberg. But when she
teaches her students about
camp, she becomes Ivanna
Vacation Goldberg. When the subject
is the United Nations, she's Butras
Butras Goldberg. And when it's fairy
tales, she becomes Hans Jewish
Anderson Goldberg.
When she's not in her special inter-
est classroom at Hillel Day School of
Metropolitan Detroit, she's Dr.
Shelley Goldberg, wife of Dr. David
and mother to Scott, Erin, Simon and
Jonathan.
Born in New York, the Memphis-
raised Goldberg received her doctorate
in education from Case Western Reserve
University in Cleveland in 1978.

teacher," Goldberg remembers students
ranging from mentally..challenged ado-
lescents in an Alabama state institution
to those in inner-city areas of Kansas
