Andy Augustin: Teaching Anatomy in a Small Town in Tennessee
Andy Augustine retired last year after a 38-year teaching career, most of it with high school students in the small town of Loretto, Tennessee. Augustin taught computer programming, music, art, chemistry, and physical education. Anatomy and Physiology, however, was his favorite subject to teach. Offered in the Career and Technical Education department at Loretto High School, Augustin thinks the classes were a favorite class among his students, too. Many former students have told Augustin that his Anatomy and Physiology classes (classes that incorporated the Anatomy in Clay Learning System) gave them the necessary leg-up in rigorous college anatomy classes.

Kathleen Beesley: A Passion for Horses and Art Combined Through the Anatomy in Clay Learning System
Kathleen Beesley developed a love of horses beginning at age 8 in the United Kingdom, where she was born. Beesley, who earned a degree in politics and German at the University of Kent, has taught English to children and adults in Barcelona and Portugal and later completed a Masters in Linguistics at the University of Surrey. In 2004, she started riding horses again in Portugal and started painting them, too. She continued painting after a move to Abu Dhabi and fostered dogs through the volunteer organization Strays of Abu Dhabi. She also purchased an Arabian ex-racehorse. Beesley retained her combined interest in art and horses following another move back to Portugal and also back to the United Kingdom. Beesley later moved to Mexico City—all these moves were due to her husband’s work—in early 2017. Beesely started the online anatomy course with Equinology and completed the Equinology Equine Bodyworker course in 2017, where she first encountered, much to her studying pleasure, the Anatomy in Clay® Learning System. Beesely currently works with dressage and jumping horses in and around Mexico City. Intro and Outro music "Viscious Pen" by Moby courtesy of .
