 I’ve been teaching for four years. From a young age I wanted to be a teacher because I wanted to be able to change the course of events. Though the notion may be a little arrogant, I believe that one man/woman can change the future of the entire world, and I want that man to be me. I figure the best way to do that is by interacting with the future presidents, artists, engineers, actors, and other professionals who will go off to provide amazing contributions to the world. Since the only way that we are able to change the world in a meaningful way is through communication and collaboration, I became an English teacher. I believe very strongly that what others have scribbled is valuable and that it is our job to figure out what they meant in that moment of inspiration when they bled through a pen onto the page.

I am also very interested in what it means to be a literate person in the 21st century. We have access to more information at will, in a handheld device, than people used to in their entire lives. It is still important to know information, but it is becoming increasingly important to learn how to manage information in a meaningful way. I want my students to look at the wealth of information at their fingertips in constructive ways.

 Bryan Bullock 5th Grade Teacher I am currently in my 5th year of teaching. Along with teaching, I am the head baseball coach and assistant football coach at Napavine High School. I have experience teaching 5th through 8th grade math, social studies, reading and physical education. I am a life-long learner, and I am excited to continue my education. I am a hard worker and believe that you are only as successful as the people you work with. I have an excellent 5th grade team of teachers that I enjoy working with everyday. We communicate and help each other get the most out of our students.

 Sara French  First Grade Teacher I have been teaching for 3 years, this is my 2nd teaching first grade, my first year, I taught 2nd grade.

I teach Biology at an interstate school district in both NH and VT. I love the Upper Valley and the outdoor activities it enables. I teach a very talented bunch of kids who are usually game for whatever new project we can think up using technology as a tool to extend our reach into obtaining information, processing it, and making sense of the world around us.

This is currently my fourth year teaching. I previously taught Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) in Waldorf, MD for three years, and I have recently moved to Pennsylvania to be closer to family and friends to teach FACS here. I love my job, and I love the fact that I am teaching life skills for my students. My students are learning about personal finance, sewing, cooking, and human growth and development. I get a chance to teach about the real world and give them a chance to apply the talents and skills before they get thrown into the real world.



F.Dozier3rd Grade Teacher I graduated from Troy State University in Phenix City, Alabama with a B.S. in Education. I am currently attending Walden University to pursue a M.S. in Education. I have over six years of teaching experience working at both the elementary and middle school level. I have previously taught Fourth Grade, Language, and intervention reading skills. Through my experience, I have truly enjoyed utilizing technology to enhance my instructional skills to reach every learner. Remember, it is not what is poured into a student, but what is planted.

 B HeckK-5 Physical Education Teacher I graduated from Berry College in Rome, GA with a BS degree in Health and Physical Education. I am currenty enrolled at Walden University as a graduate student working toward my BS in Education. I began my professional career as an adjunct instructor in the PE department at Wesleyan College, Macon GA where I also coached volleyball and the Equestrian teams. After seven years at the college level, I pursued my lifelong dream of becoming an Elementary PE teacher. I have been happily teaching K-5 PE for the last ten years, My challenge is to incorporate more technology into my curriculum while still keeping the students moving. My motto for my students is: At Brookwood we are moving to learn and learning to move.

 Teresa Wood High School Mathematics Teacher

I graduated from York College twice, 17 years apart. The first time with an A.S. in Chemistry. The second time with a B.S. in Chemistry, minor in Mathematics. I worked in the paper industry during those 17 years. I pursued my passion for teaching by moving my son and self from York, PA to Philadelphia to enroll in the Transition to Teaching program at Drexel University. This is my 5th year teaching. Everyday is a new experience for me and my students as I try to incorporate technology into my lessons. I have a Promethean board that I am still learning how to fully utilize. I am also a group fitness instructor, teaching Body Pump and Body Combat at local gyms.



Terri Waterman
===6 - 8 Technology Specialist I graduated from Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, IL with a BS degree in Business Education. I spent 20 years in corporate America learning accounting, insurance and internet banking first hand. All this time I managed to keep my certificate current. For the last two years a career in teaching has been pulling on my heart strings so I decided to take a huge financial leap backwards but a huge fulfilling leap forward. My only regret is that I didn't pursue teaching as soon as I graduated. This is my second year of teaching in the area I group up in. We have a brand new building with an impressive computer lab of 37 brand new iMacs. I Currently enrolled at Walden University and pursue graduate work to enhance my knowledge base, especially since I've been away from education for awhile. One of my favorite sayings is my William Ward: The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires
