About The Teacher
I have been teaching for 26 years in the public school system. I taught in Tennessee and South Carolina before settling in Georgia. Chattanooga, Tennessee is my hometown. This is my 18th year at Big Shanty. My class is an Interrelated Resource class servicing Learning Disabled, Behavior Disordered, Autistic, and Other Health Impaired students. For the last several years I have taught fourth grade, both in an inclusion setting, and in small group settings. In 2004-05, I was elected Teacher of the Year at Big Shanty! This is an honor of which I'm most proud! Mr. Long and I have two children. My daughter, Amanda, got married this summer after graduating from KSU. My son, Jarrod, is 19 and attends college at Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee where he is pursuing a pastoral ministries degree. I enjoy traveling, especially to our cabin in the Blue Ridge mountains. I also enjoy reading, traveling, going to garage sales, and antiquing. I love teaching at Big Shanty!
