I am the Enrichment/Gifted&Talented teacher for the K-3 students in my district. My job is twofold; I work with identified third graders in a pull-out TAG program, but I also teach STEM Enrichment to all of our second and third graders. The enrichment lessons are taught on a monthly basis, and I visit 40 different general education and inclusion classrooms in four different buildings. It is a busy, fast-paced job and I love it! Prior to this position, I taught as a classroom teacher for fifteen years in grades K, 1, 2, and 3. I majored in Elementary Education and English, and have recently completed a Masters Degree in Gifted and Talented Education.
