Passionate about a few things in life including, but not limited to, teaching, reading, and office supplies. Now serving as an instructional coach, Reading/Language Arts K-5 Curriculum Co-specialist, and mentor, I spent 20 years as a classroom teacher and leader for our K-5 Reading/Language Arts team. I am excited to share a few sessions with teachers this summer at the elementary and secondary symposiums in Sioux City and the Iowa Reading Conference in Ames.
