 In 1993, Tammy began her teaching career in Harrisburg, AR teaching 1st grade for 2 years.  Then, she moved to Texas and taught 5th and 6th grade science/social studies/writing at Rockport Intermediate School for 5 years.  During her time in Texas, she worked on site-based committees, wrote curriculum and assessments, and developed technology skills. Rockport Intermediate used a looping system and family (pod) approach as an organization system.  From Texas, she returned to Arkansas and taught 1 year 7th/ 8th grade basic reading and 6 years 5th grade science in Blytheville, AR. 

She is now in her 31st year in education and her 18th year as a science specialist at CRESC.

  Tammy promotes the idea that “Science is NOT just a Content.  It is an EXPERIENCE! 

On a personal note, Tammy loves to travel with her 2 daughters, 2 sons in-love, 4 grandbugs (children) and 2 grandbugs-in-love. 

 Making memories is what our family is about.  When someone makes a goof, someone will say, “We just made a memory” because we seldom remember when something goes right, but when it goes wrong, no one forgets!
