I  love our teachers! As a former classroom teacher, I understand the professional demands and expectations made on classroom teachers.  Teachers are constantly looking at ways to better serve children to meet their educational needs.  I provide teacher workshops and PD in the areas of  reading, writing and dyslexia.
