Hello.  I am a part of your A New Nation:  Independence through the Constitution staff.  I am here to help you with high level instructional strategies that support the content we explore.
     I am a retired elementary principal and Federal Programs Coordinator for the Midd-West School District in Middleburg.  In addition to helping with this Keystones project, I still do some work with federal programs for PDE.
     Prior to becoming a principal, my classroom teaching experience includes about 10 years teaching grades 4 and 5; 10 years teaching 7th grade reading; and about 10 years as Title I reading specialist, Literacy Coach, Language Arts Coordinator.
     During the course of our June Workshops, you will meet my husband, Tony, who will be doing some Book Arts activities with you.  You will also hear about our twin grandsons, age 5, who live in San Antonio and will be spending a part of their summer with us again this year.
