About Gretchen

Experience: 10 yrs

I have been teaching in the public school setting for 19 years. I worked as a Special Education Teacher and taught reading and math. I have also tutored students in Reading and Math. I have worked for a 0-3 Early Childhood Intervention agency also where I would go out to the home and assist parents with individual plans for their children that were experiencing delays in motor or speech delays. I have taught Sunday school in my church also. I love kids and I have written but not published a children; s book and I have been working on writing a curriculum currently in my home to market. I believe I have wisdom do to the right thing in the right situation. I like to make children smile and feel loved and cared for. I am able to explain things and redirect if there is a conflict of interest. :) I am not for punishing children in negative ways but I know a lot about how to get kids on the right track without losing them. I hope to hear from you.
