Literacy Specialist Ms. Henshaw Teaching is called a profession because the professional in that classroom has studied, experienced, and learned about
that particular group of
children. . . . There is always
a need to improve and we need to be challenged. Don
Graves, The Energy to Teach, Heinemann, 2001 As I reflect on the years I’ve been
privileged to work with children, I realize how much they have taught me
about blissful discovery, joyous delight in living, and concentrated
determination. Although I have extensive experience in
primary grades and experience teaching 3rd and 5th
grades, I continue to learn new things from experts, my colleagues, and the
children. I have certifications in Elementary
Education with a Psychology minor and an Early Childhood endorsement from
Texas A&M, Gifted and Talented certification from University of St.
Thomas, and an English as a Second Language
certification. Currently, I am working on a Master’s degree in Language
Arts and Reading Specialist certification from I still feel rewarded and gratified by my
profession. I believe it is
important to continue to learn. I have numerous post graduate hours and
attend many workshops, conferences, and seminars in order to challenge myself
and become a more effective educator. I have also been a member of a plethora
of campus and district committees. The variety of committees range from
campus administrative teams, technology, and language arts to team dynamics,
textbook adoptions, and appraisal committees. These opportunities have
provided experience and personal satisfaction. My greatest contributions to education
and the children I teach are flexibility, patience, dedication, the ability
to listen, geniality, and a love of learning. It is my hope that this
literacy site will enable you to use resources that will help with lessons,
ideas, and information to facilitate and support your planning. Please
