About the store
I have taught for 12 years. I have taught third for 5 years, second and fifth for 1 year, and first for 4 years. This year this is my second year as an Academic Instructional Technology Coach for my school district. I love working with teachers and their students in the classroom on integrating technology in their curriculum from Pre-K to 12th grade.
I have my Reading Endorsement (2012) and have co-taught the Reading Endorsement for my county. I have my Teacher-Leader Endorsement Coaching (2014), TSC (2015), and Inspiring Leadership Endorsement (2016)!
I have presented at Literacy Conferences on Reading and Writing hosted by Georgia College and State University (2012-2013) and Georgia Reading Association (2013), GADOE (2013), and the 23rd Annual KSU Conference on Literature for Children and Young Adults (2014), GCTM (2014/2016), LRA (2014), IRA (2015), LERA (2015), and Georgia Western University Literacy and Beyond Conference (2015/2016). I have also lead professional development at schools in my district and for the district.
