About Mrs. Goedken

Hi! My name is Joan Goedken . I teach Title 1 Reading at East Elementary. I have been teaching for over 30 years. I received a Bachelor's Degree in elementary education and a reading endorsement from the University of Northern Iowa. I received my Masters in elementary education from Viterbo University. In addition to teaching Title 1, I have experience in teaching junior kindergarten, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade.

My husband, Jack, teaches math at the high school. We have three grown children and are grandparents. Outside of school I LOVE spending time with my family, reading, and supporting the Independence Mustangs!
