GOALS
I want to become a reading coach, reading specialist or curriculum specialist. I have a master’s in reading and I feel that I am learning new things every year and I want to be able to assist students in their reading abilities. I also have a certificate in curriculum, instruction, and assessments. I would like to work in the district helping to create the curriculum for teachers to use with their students. I also like helping others when I can, especially in classrooms where new teachers are to help them become familiar with teaching.
