About Mrs. Berg

My journey at Stratford Elementary School began in 2000. I have been working in the field of elementary education since 1998. Prior to working in Stratford, I was an Elementary School Counselor in Pittsville, WI. I received my Bachelor of Arts and a Masters of Science in Education (School Counseling Emphasis) degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 1996 and 1998. In 2008, I also completed my Administrator's training in hopes to be an Elementary School Principal someday.

I live in Marshfield, WI, with my husband and four children. In my free time, I enjoy going for walks, baking, and spending time with my family. I love summer and enjoy doing creative and artistic projects. I grew up in Baraboo, WI, so when I can, I love to return and visit with friends and family, and also visit Devil's Lake State Park, a place that holds lots of fond memories for me.

I truly enjoy my work with children. Every day I work to create a trusting relationship and connection with the students I work with. I also believe that:

• All students are capable of achieving high levels of success.

• Students deserve for their developmental needs and individual differences to be supported by a comprehensive school counseling program.

• The Home & School connection is valuable and plays an important part in a student's social, emotional, and academic growth.

• School counselors must be leaders, advocates, and collaborators who create equitable access to rigorous curriculum and opportunities for self-directed personal growth for every student.

• Each student must have access to full-time, state certified, masters-degree level school counselor to deliver the comprehensive school counseling program and abide by the ASCA Ethical Standards.

• The school counseling program is planned, coordinated, and evaluated with input from the educational community and other community members.

• I will use data to design, implement, evaluate, and continuously improve the comprehensive school counseling program.

• I will honor the district mission: Committed to Students, Committed to Community, Committed to Excellence.
