    About The Teacher

    The 2019-2020 school year is my 25th year at Gayhead.  Where did the time go?? I have a husband, 2 children, (a 12th grader and a college graduate)  and a dog.  In my spare time, I love to spend time  with my family, read, hike, walk, listen to music, and dance.

    Educational Philosophy

    My goal is to help every child reach his or her full learning potential.  I  believe in helping children learn to be humane critical thinkers, decision- makers and problem solvers.    My classroom is child-centered and flexible, and is a place where the needs  of the children inform my teaching and have a direct impact on the way I  deliver instruction.   I do a great deal of professional reading, and am  constantly refining my practice based on the latest in educational  research.

    Favorite movie -  (currently) The Avengers or any Marvel movie
