A student service teacher is an invaluable resource to our school, our teachers, and most importantly, to our students. A student service teacher assists classroom teachers in making educational decisions for individual students. They work with individual and/or small group of students needing special assistance beyond what can be provided in the classroom. They assist teachers in relating materials to identify student needs. Overall, they help students become successful and meet their goals and in doing so make them feel confident in the classroom.
Student Service Teacher
I am a 1987 graduate of SAS and am thrilled to be working at my alma mater! After graduating from Providence High School in 1991, I earned my degree in Special Education at Indiana University-Bloomington.
I was employed by Greater Clark County Schools for seventeen years, where I worked in numerous aspects of special education. I taught students with various disabilities in both self-contained rooms and inclusive settings, worked as part of the evaluation team to determine eligibility for special education, and supervised special education teachers at the elementary, middle and high school levels. I have been a part of the SAS faculty since the 2012-2013 school year.
My husband, Joel, and I were married at St. Anthony in 1996 and have been parishioners since that time. We have 3 sons. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, reading and following IU athletics. Some fun facts about me are that I have run in 3 marathons, I HATE shopping, I don't watch television series' that isn’t on regular tv (i.e. Game of Thrones), I am freaked out by clowns and mimes, and I graduated from SAS in 1987 with Mrs. Kempf, and I graduated from Providence High School in 1991 with Mrs. Kempf and Mrs. LaMaster!
Student Service Teacher
I attended OLPH for K-8th grade. I then attended Providence High School. Here I played soccer, softball, and cheerleader along with theater before graduating with a B.S. in Elementary Education and Special Education at U of L.
I began working here in 2016 as our Student Services teacher working alongside Mrs. Kelly. I service students in grades K-8 sometimes working with students in the classroom, but also pulling them out to work one on one and design individual plans for them. I also lend a helping hand by co-teaching with other teachers to help students reach their full potential.
I have one son, Chandler. In my spare time, I like to play soccer on a co-ed team in Louisville, roam the aisles of Target, binge watch Friends on loop along with other Netflix series, do crafts, and EAT!!!!!! Fun facts about me are that I know sign language, I am a dog lover, I prefer to only wear tennis shoes, my love of food began when my dad, Sam Anderson, opened his own restaurant that many people may know in Southern Indiana, called Sam’s Food and Spirits. I have also mastered the art of the jumping heel click. :)
