41 years in education as a teacher, counselor, and facilitator has given me a wealth of life experiences that I have dedicated to sharing with my students and colleagues.
My 16 years of experience at Garfield Elementary included:
8 years as a third grade teacher, 4 years as a first grade teacher and 4 years as counselor/literacy coach.
Taught elementary science to preservice teachers at the college level in the evenings.
Taught self contained special education for 3 years, first grade for 2 years and second grade for 1 year.
My skills are varied as I have 41 years of experience working both, directly and indirectly with educating and forming little minds
I have experiences working with teachers through presenting and providing professional development
I have also taught preservice teachers at John Brown University in evenings to help prepare them for teaching science at the elementary level
