Teaching style
HoJo's teaching style varies depending on the students in front of her. She uses a lot of visuals, differentiated instruction, and centers whenever possible. HoJo's colleagues often joke that she has a work hard, play hard attitude. She's the type who expects a lot of hard work from her students, but she will be the first to recognize that hard work and find a fun way to incorporate play into the school day.
Awards & shining teacher moments
The South Dakota Department of Education chose Heather to attend a national standard setting committee in New Jersey in February 2011. A panel of roughly 20 experts helped determine the new cut off scores for the next PLT Praxis exam.
Heather also served on a panel of South Dakota educators to determine the new principal evaluation system in 2012-2013. It was very humbling to be one of only four teachers on a panel of administrators and other professionals throughout the state.
As a teacherpreneur, Heather has spoken at the National TPT Conference two times, been a regional speaker at teacherpreneur events two times, and hosted a South Dakota meetup in 2021.
My own education history
Heather graduated from undergraduate school in May 2007 where she received a teacher certificate in Elementary and K-8 Special Education.
Heather has a minor in Reading and Kindergarten education. She also has endorsements to teach Middle School Math, Reading/Language Arts, and Science. She can coach any sport in elementary and middle school and holds a varsity basketball endorsement. Finally, Heather has a K-12 technology endorsement.
In May 2009 Heather graduated with a K-12 Educational Administration & Leadership degree.
Heather served as a trained Reading Recovery teacher during the 2009-2010 school year.
During the summer of 2010, Heather took certification coursework to become a Reading Specialist in the state of South Dakota.
