About the teacher

NAME: Mrs. Yazicioglu

SCHOOL PHONE: 512-428-2650


After three years as a Literacy Coach at Grisham Middle School, I will be 
teaching 8th grade Language Arts this school year. I am looking forward to an 
exciting school year.

This is my fourteenth year in the education field. I have taught 8th grade 
English Language Arts and Reading/Writing Remediation classes for 4 years in 
a middle school in Long Island, New York. After receiving my M.S. degree in 
Reading, I acquired a new position and became the Reading 
Consultant/Specialist of that same middle school. I also had the opportunity 
to supervise graduate students enrolled in the Literacy Program at a private 
college in Long Island, New York.   

In 2008, my husband and I decided to move to Austin, TX as my two grown 
children embarked on a separate journey(their careers.) We love it here. I am 
fortunate to be a part of Grisham Grizzlies.
