All About the Teacher

Greetings & Salutations everyone! I am your math intervention teacher, Mrs. Tracie Skok. I graduated from Mountain View High School in Mesa, AZ back in 1993. I then went on to Scottsdale Community College, where I met my husband, Joe Skok, whom I married on October 27th, 1996. I proceeded to Glendale Community College during this time, earning my Associates of Arts degree before moving onto ASU receiving my Bachelors in Education. I started teaching public education in July of 2001. I recently completed my Masters in Education: Curriculum & Instruction in Secondary (7-12) Reading Methods at Grand Canyon University.

I have been with the district since 2012. I am excited for my eleventh year back in Dysart for 7/8 math & HS Electives. I plan to assist my peers & students to become more confident and successful in credit recovery, hybrid learning, and applying math skills.

I have been teaching for 20 years, since 2001, when I graduated from ASU. I hold a B.A. in Education with an emphasis in Middle School Mathematics and Middle School Reading. I am highly-qualified and certified in 1st-12th grades with endorsements in the following areas: K-12 ESL, 1-12 Reading Specialist, 1-8 Math Intervention Specialist, Middle School Math (5-9), Middle School Language Arts (5-9), and 7-12 English. In 2015 I earned my Masters Degree in Curriculum & Instruction for Secondary Reading Methods through Grand Canyon University.

Most of my classroom experience has been with middle school (5th-8th), although I work in the summers with students in 7th - 12th grade from all over the world. For seven years, I was the 6th - 8th grade Reading & Math Intervention Specialist at VPMS. In addition, I have taught 8th grade Math, 6th Math, 6th Language Arts, and both 5th & 6th grade general education. Before I taught in public education, I was teaching dance and worked in the restaurant business.
