| Background: |
During my first year of teaching, I taught in a program called Follow Through, a
Head Start program for first, second, and third graders. I married and then went back to
school full time to earn my master’s degree that included certification in special
education. From that point on I was hooked and have stayed in the special services area. Most
of my experience has been in the elementary schools (Cannon and Grapevine Elementary) but I
love the challenge of secondary education!
|
| Teaching Philosophy: |
As a special services teacher, I believe that every child can learn.
Because of the wide variety of developmental needs and skill levels in the special services
classroom, each student is learning within a different range. I believe that one of my roles
is to be a keen observer so that I may instruct each of my students within his or her range of
learning. From these observations, I am able to set attainable goals and objectives for the
students.

| Personal Statement: |
I have been married to my husband, Mike, for 29 years. We have one son, John,
who graduated from CHHS in 1998. John graduated from Vanderbilt University in May 2002 with a
degree in Economics. He met Jen at Vanderbilt and they were married in July of 2002. John is
working on getting a professional certificate in graphic design and Jen is working on her
doctorate in neuro-science research. We moved here from Carmel, Indiana in 1996 when my
husband was transferred. Mike and I like to travel, watch movies and play cards. I love dogs
and most other animals! |
