Lori Dodd
Bradenton,Florida
Summary
I have worked in Title 1 for the last 17 years. I am passionate about instilling a love of reading in children. I am experienced in developing lesson plans to meet district and state standards. I have my reading endorsement, so I specialize in teaching Tier 3 intensive reading classes. I also have my mentor teacher certification to guide new teachers and college interns. I am hardworking and passionate about teaching.
I recently purchased a house in Lutz, Florida to be near family. I am looking to transfer to a school in that vicinity.
