My first teaching assignment was in a second grade classroom at Grand Forks Air Force Base in Grand Forks, North Dakota. I spent the next few years as a kindergarten teacher and moved into a multi-age classroom role after that. I loved the multi-age student-driven classroom! I also have experience as a reading specialist and a support or lead teacher for literacy interventions.
