Hello. My name is Amy Coughlan. I am a k-6 educator. I have been teaching for over 17 years. I have completed my BA in psychology and elementary education and a Master's Degree in Literacy education. Additionally, I have certification in literacy leadership, Executive Function skill development, and Diversity Equity Inclusion leadership training. I believe that connection is the successful key to academic growth. Student engagement depends on each person feeling heard, seen and valued.
