Course Syllabus
.
Welcome to my digital classroom! I am looking forward to getting to know and working with each one of you this year! We are going to learn a lot this year, with lots of classroom experiences and of course, we will have fun!
Background
I have been in education for 32 years. Thirty one of those years have been at Bexley Schools. I started in the Middle School in the English Department and have had high school, and elementary intervention classes. I love my job and the kids I service. I work with the upper elementary students here at Maryland. Many students are in and out of my room daily and I am in and out of their rooms daily. My classroom is located at the end of the 6th grade hallway. I work with two other intervention specialist in the building. I graduated from Capital University and have a Master's from Ohio State University. I am currently taking classes from Ashland University to address the needs in math intervention for all elementary students.
Classroom Content Description
I work with small group and individual students to meet unique learning goals that the team has decided are needed for the students.

The students assignments will be based on their classroom teachers assignments.
Parent Communications
I can be reached at the email address listed above. Please allow 24 hours for me to get back to you. If you send an email over the weekend I will follow-up shortly after the weekend, or earlier if I’m available. If at any time you would like to schedule an in person or a telephone conference call with me please let me know as we work together to organize a schedule.

Because we care about each other and our Maryland Community
