About The Teacher Label:


About The Teacher
I have been a teacher at OLL for 20 years. Sister Madonna Ratterman hired me a month after I graduated from The College of Mount St. Joseph with an Elementary Education degree in May, 1989. Although I started out teaching only fifth grade, I have taught science in both fifth and sixth grades for the past eight years. I love teaching science, especially in the middle grades. I also teach one fifth grade English class and one fifth grade Religion class this year. I achieved two professional goals in 2003. After four long summers of classes at Miami University, I completed my Masters in Teaching Biology. I am excited to have the opportunity to share this experience with the kids I teach. My second achievement was National Board Teacher Certification in Early Adolescent Science. Who am I outside of school? I have been married to Ray Brackmann for 33 years. We live in Harrison, Ohio, where we have raised our four daughters. I have one grandchild, Teddy, who lives in Washington DC with his parents.
