Claire

I am a retired Elementary Grades teacher of 40 years with the Duval County Public Schools in Jacksonville, FL. I am a graduate of Delta State University with a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master of Education degrees. During my tenure in Duval County, I taught K - 6 grades in a self-contained setting, as a resource teacher in Title I pull-out Reading, served as the Reading Resource Teacher or Reading Coach, Math Coach and Computer Lab Director. I don't like to see anyone struggling with reading or math and will do whatever I can to help them be more successful. I love to see their expressions when they finally get how to work that math problem or learn to decipher difficult words that hinder their understanding of the story. My desire is to see all my students excited about learning and feel that a quality education is the key to success in this world. I am constantly looking for new ways to help my students increase their understanding of what they are reading or working through difficult math problems. Learning should be fun and I want to instill that feeling in all my students.
