My name is Holly Pederson. I am originally from New Richland, MN, and I went to high school at NRHEG. I attended Bethany Lutheran College to get my Bachelor's degree in Broad Field Social Studies with a 5-12 education licensure. I am currently working on getting my Master's degree in Learning Design and Technology from St. Mary's University of Minnesota, Winona. I am also working on obtaining my licenses to teach 5-8 Communication Arts and Literature and 5-8 Math. Not only do I have social studies teaching experience, but I have also been a reading interventionist both in-person and online for grades 4, 6, and 7, an online math tutor for grades 4-8, a crafts teacher for preschool through eighth grade, and a community education art teacher for anyone ages 12 and up. I am currently a 9-12 English teacher at NRHEG. I love the variety that my job provides as I get to work with any subject area at every grade level from preschool through twelfth grade. I also really enjoy that when I am not a substitute teacher, I get to work either individually or in small groups with students who need extra help. I really love to see when the learning clicks with a student and they start to understand the content.
