I am an inclusion
teacher for fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students at New
Center School in Sevierville, TN in the foothills of the beautiful
Smoky Mountains. I grew up in the mountains of eastern Kentucky
and attended a one room school for my first eight years of
education. After fifteen years as a teacher's assistant in Sevier
County, I received my B.S. degree in Special Education from ETSU in May
2005 and my Masters in May 2007. This is my fourth year to teach
at New Center. Teaching brings much joy to my life!
I am married to Jack Hess, a
glassblower in the Arts and Crafts Community of Gatlinburg, and we have
three sons and two grandchildren. My favorite activities include
spending time with my family, sharing coffee with a friend, reading a
good book, hiking, traveling, and shopping.
In every difficult or troubled time, a student ought to be
able to look around and see a teacher standing in his
or her corner. ~ Unknown
