About me:
This is my fourth year at NCES, and my
ninth year of teaching. I have taught
Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade. I
earned a B.A. from Saint Martin's
University, a M.S. from Troy
University, and a Gifted Education
Endorsement from West Georgia. I
have two children. J.P. is a freshman at
Ole Miss, and Caitlin is a freshman at
Northside High School. My wonderful
husband, John and I have lived in
Columbus for eleven years. In my free
time I enjoy running. I travel to the
beach as often as I can!

| The C.L.A.S.S model's foundation is based on brain-based learning, and incorporation of "Life Skills". Within the model, students not only experience exciting, hands-on lessons, but learn vital skills that help them to get along with classmates, communicate their feelings, and handle emotions. Looping and school SCOPES facilitate a sense of community. At North Columbus Elementary, each child is treated as an individual. His / her interests, strengths, and learning styles are not only acknowledged, but are the basis for instruction. |
