What do you teach? I co-teach two sections of 7th grade Language Arts with Mrs. Edens and two sections of 7th grade Math with Mrs. Carlyle.
What is co-teaching? Co-teaching is where a General Education and a Special Education teacher teach a class together and that class is made up of both general education students and students with Individual Education Plans, or IEPs. This environment allows for more small group instruction and one-to-one learning opportunities.
How long have you taught at Riverdale? This is my 15th year of teaching and my 10th year at Riverdale. I am currently the PLC (Professional Learning Committee) Lead for the ESE Department and the teacher sponsor for Riverdale's Scrabble Club. I also serve on the Riverdale School Improvement Plan Committee.
Are you married? Do you have children? Yes! I am happily married to my best friend from high school and I have twin boys, Peyton and Landon. They are both in 5th grade here at Riverdale. Peyton and Landon are so lucky to have Mrs. Dodge and Mrs. Faught for teachers. They have so many sweet friends and they love to play baseball, golf, music, and swim!
