This will be my fifth year at Britt David. I have always taught second
graders, beginning with my student teaching experience at Wynnton School,
under the supervision of the wonderful Mrs. Seckinger. I graduated from
Troy University with a Master's in Elementary Education. I became certified
to teach gifted children in 2008. I am currently pursuing my Doctor of
Education in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. A goal that I am very
proud of in my profession! My resume is attached in the downloadables
portion of the website, if you would like to view my other qualifications.
My first year of teaching occurred at Mathews Elementary School with second
graders. I was the last one hired during that year, so when Midland Academy
was built you know what that means. I became homeless! During the past
seven years, I have taught second graders at Midland Academy. I am very
excited about the new challenge of teaching fourth graders at this wonderful
school.
Now a little about my personal life away from school! I am married
to the best man on the face of the Earth! His name is Gary. We live in
Phenix City, Alabama with our two dogs. Our dogs are the sweetest animals in
the world. We have a yellow lab, "Fletcher"'s Yeller Head and a Pomeranian,
Iluv "Lucy" Head. In September of 2008, we add a new member to our family.
We had a precious little boy, Walker Head. He is the joy of our lives. I
love to participate in outdoor activities, such as, camping, ridinig horses,
crafts and BASEBALL. I have grown with age to love reading. It is a great
release of stress for me these days! My husband and I are members of Golden
Acres Baptist Church. Some of my role models are Laura Bush, Reba McEntire,
Mark Richt (love the coach but WAR EAGLE) and my mother. I love what they
stand for in their everyday life. That is a little about me and what and who
I love in my life.
BELIEF #1
I believe all children have gifts and special talents that must be explored
through different forms of instruction.
BELIEF #2
I believe all children learn at different speeds and with various methods of
instruction.
BELIEF #3
I believe that I have an awesome reponsibility to educate the future leaders
of tomorrow to the absolute best of my ability.
BELIEF #4
I believe that I serve as a mother away from home for all children in my
classroom. If a relationship and trust are established with the family of
the student in the beginning, an education is easy to accomplish for the
child.
BELIEFT #5
I believe that an academic education is vital, but a character building
education through mutual respect is crucial.
