Editor's Notes
- #2: I have been teaching at White Oak for 25 years. During those years I’ve taught the Primary Writing Lab, Intermediate G/T, Title I Reading, and Special Education. I am currently the Response to Intervention Case Manager and Sp Ed Coordinator for the White Oak Intermediate Campus. While I’ve enjoyed a quarter of a century teaching children, I can tell you that the last 7 years have absolutely been the most exciting for teaching as well as learning due to the daily incorporation of technology into my classroom.
