Koontz Intermediate - EC Teacher - 5th/6th Separate Setting

I have been working with children since 1995 when I first worked for Gymboree. Since then I have worked in daycare and as a program director for the Boys & Girls Club. Recent years have seen me working with individuals with intellectual disabilities and it has changed my life. When my three children were older, I returned to school because I believe that it is never too late to learn. I have spent my life learning about just how diverse the world is and how we are all a part of this planet, regardless of who we are and where we come from.
