This year I find myself in a new position in our districts schools, I am an Academic Specialist. My job is to support and coach teachers throughout the school year. Until now all school sites had a full time Academic Specialist, but this year due to budget cuts Academic Specialists are split between two sites. So I am not only in a new position, but I am at two different middle school sites. I am deep into learning about the culture of each school and getting to know the teachers who make up each school. I am truly enjoying getting to know each school, how they work, and the teachers and personal who make up each site.
My passion with teaching, is to help individuals push themselves to be and do the best they can. My passion started with students, but has evolved into helping teachers be their best so they can best support their students. I am so excited about having a position that officially gives me the time and platform to support teachers to grown and be their best. I will see where this new position and focus takes me this year.
