Experience
Just Ask Judy specializes in K-2 math and literacy resources designed to engage and support your learners while building essential foundational skills. Behind the scenes, you’ll find…Judy… just Judy, a retired special education teacher with over 35 years of full-time teaching experience.
I taught predominantly at the primary level, in inclusive and resource settings. After retirement, I continued to substitute teach in general and special education settings for 6 additional years at the primary school where I taught for over 31 years.
I have always had an affinity for curriculum development and designing assessments and instructional materials. Just Ask Judy gives me the opportunity and joy to create the resources I wish I’d had ready to go in my classroom!
Teaching style
I spent my teaching career searching for and implementing the methods and materials necessary to engage and teach individual students. I have extensive experience implementing multisensory methods and Orton Gillingham-based synthetic phonics programs as well as analogy-based decoding and word study approaches. I am firmly grounded in the concrete, representational, abstract instructional sequence for math instruction.
My own education history
I earned a B.S. degree in Special Education from Clarion State College in Clarion, PA, and an M.Ed. in Special Education from the University of Virginia. I completed subsequent courses in numerous areas including gifted education, inclusion, reading, word study (taught by Kathy Ganske), and math; as well as many hours spent in workshops and professional development. I continue to research, read, and take advantage of online webinars to stay current.
Additional biographical information
I live in a rural area of Virginia at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I have two grown children and five adorable grandchildren. I enjoy walking or swimming every day, reading a good mystery, and drinking a soothing cup of hot tea.
