About Searchlight® Software

Searchlight® Software is a division of Ocean East Publishing, a private publishing enterprise established in 1991 by Bill and Michelle Willis. Michelle serves as Ocean East Publishing's Director of Project Development and has been the creative force behind all of the Searchlight interactive programs.

Michelle has a Master of Education Degree. She taught Middle School Health Education for 11 years, High School Life Management for 4 years, and was a Middle School Curriculum Coordinator for 3 years.

She also served as the Director of Religious Education for St. John of the Cross Parish in Vero Beach, Florida from 1992 to 2007. She holds a Professional Certificate in Catechesis from the Diocese of Palm Beach, and is a member of the Diocesan School of Christian Formation teaching staff.
Growing Up: A Character-Building Approach is an online character education program designed for pre-adolescents (Grades 5-6).  While this program is non-religious, the values it teaches and the virtues it supports makes it a great supplement to any educational program.
 

Developmental Strategies of Searchlight Software Programs
Because Michelle spent so many years in the classroom, she is intimately aware and expressly conscious of what students and teachers alike need from
educational materials. Consequently, she has carefully crafted the Searchlight programs so they are both student and teacher friendly.
