Welcome to the 2022-2023 School Year!
For twenty years, I have worked as a special education teacher as well as classroom teacher. At St. John School I have taught kindergarten, third, fourth, and fifth grades. I am now taking on the role of a Learning Specialist on the Student Support Team. I will be working on teaching fundamental reading and writing skills to sixth graders. In seventh and eighth grades, we work on research writing and executive functioning skills. The delivery model of services will range from working alongside the classroom teacher to pulling kids out and working in small groups for individualized instruction. Students will be monitored for progress over the course of the school year. As assessment data is gathered, the best model for instruction will be achieved and students will grow! I am a firm believer in empowering students to believe in themselves and their gifts from God.
Another part of my job will be to facilitate the new Makerspace. The Makerspace is open on everyday! Come check us out!
