Hello!  My name is Sandra Jordan.  I am 31 years old.  I have a husband five years, Zane and a four-year-old daughter, Reese.  She just turned four on Sunday.

 

I live in the small town of Ford City, Pennsylvania, where I grew up.  I attended college at Edinboro University of PA.  I received a Bachelors Degree in Special Education.  After graduating in 1996, I accepted a teaching position in Richmond, Texas.  I taught Resource (Learning Support) for a year and a half, and then volunteered to be the Emotional Support Teacher within the same school for a year and a half. 

 

After dating my husband for 7 years, we decided to tie the knot.  It was then we decided to move back home to Ford City.  Shortly after returning home, I started teaching at Craig Academy, which was a private partial hospital school for children with severe emotional and behavioral disabilities.  I stayed with Craig Academy for 3 years. 

 

I also worked in a partial hospital program through Family Counseling Center of Armstrong County for one year.  My job was similar to the one I held at Craig Academy; the only difference is that the program was not an approved private school.  It was a mental health facility with an educational component.  There are only two teachers.  I taught elementary and middle school (1st-8th), while the other teacher taught high school age students (9th-12th). 

 

I recently accepted a position that is a permanent substitute position for one year in the Deer Lakes School District in Russellton, PA.  There is the potential for fulltime employment after this year.  (I have my fingers crossed!!) I am the third grade learning support teacher.  I work with fifteen students in a pull out program for Reading, Language Arts, and Math.  I love it so far.  The students are great.  It is nice not being sworn at or threatened by students when they get angry because you asked them to follow directions.  It is an awesome switch from emotional support.

 

I have been attending the University of Phoenix since October of 2003 to receive my Masters Degree in Education with an emphasis in curriculum and technology.  I plan to graduate in the summer of 2005.

 

Besides Teaching and taking care of my family, I enjoy reading Dean Koontz books and crime novels.  I am also a huge CSI fan.  I enjoy motherhood, walking, camping, fishing, and reading to my daughter.

 

I am looking forward to starting class and working with everyone.
