My name is Nancy Weir and I very excited to be teaching at Our Lady of Mercy.
I have worked in education for 15 years. I have worked for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for 14 years. Prior to my educational career I worked as a Registered Nurse. In that field I had the opportunity to take care of pediatric patients of all ages, adult heart transplant patients, and those that suffered physical trauma. I also led an insurance company's disease management programs in 3 states. I still maintain an active nursing license in Pennsylvania.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Nursing. My Master's degree is in Elementary Education at the Instructional 11 level. I also hold a Reading Specialist certification for grades K-12.
During the Covid pandemic I independently tutored via Zoom over 13 students ranging in grades kindergarten through 4th. At OLM I have had the opportunity to work with students in all grades as a student resource teacher and reading specialist. This affords me the ability to work with students in small groups, individually, or "push in" to classrooms as a support for the whole class. In this position, I work collaboratively with the teachers, other staff, and child study team.
While I enjoy teaching all subjects; I love helping students learn to read. It is rewarding to see a student really begin to believe they can read and understand what they are reading. My reading instruction, lesson plan, and activities are based on the principles of the science of reading.
Thank you for giving my the opportunity to help your child learn. I am looking forward to working with your family.
