HelloI I am an interventionist at Crawford Elementary. I look forward to working with our Crawford Eagles and their families this year as part of the intervention team. The role of an interventionist is to work closely with classroom teachers to make sure ALL students literacy and math needs are met. The classroom teacher and interventionists work as a team to ensure each student's skills are identified in order to strengthen weak skills or extend their learning to more advanced skills so the student is working on exactly what they need at that moment. Interventionists meet with student groups in their classrooms for 20 to 30 minute groups three to five days a week to provide lessons that focus on missing or weak reading, writing, or math skills. I also provide dyslexia services for qualifying students using the Phonics First, Barton, and/or Rite Flight programs.

Hello! I started teaching at Crawford Elementary in 1989 after graduating from Arkansas Tech University. I taught second grade for eight years and then moved to reading recovery. I enjoy shopping and spending time with my family.
