Professor Garcia - CIS1. How long have you been in your current position/teaching? 7 and a half years 2. What do you like most about your current grade/team? Caroline and I work well together. She brings enthusiasm to her job which helps me to stay inspired. 3. What is your favorite book and why? The Moth ... it is a radio show but they put together a book of their most popular and inspiring speakers. Each speaker shares a funny, insightful story. 4. Tell us about your favorite part of Oak Springs. I love that it is a small school. I get the privilege of getting to know the families on a deeper level. The staff work so hard and put their heart into their work....you have to when you work at a title one school like ours :) 5. If you could have any super power in the world, what would it be and why? I would love to be able to make myself invisible at times, I think I might get more work done. 6. Fun fact! I ran the Boston Marathon in 1999. Miss Caroline - CIS SmartKids Coordinator1. How long have you been in your current position/teaching? This is my second school year as the SmartKids coordinator at Oak Springs! 2. What do you like most about your current grade/team? My team is extremely supportive. We are constantly working together to best serve the children at Oak Springs. Plus, we all get along great. I know I can always count on them for a good laugh or a kind word. 3. What is your favorite book and why? Choosing one favorite book is really hard! I love all the Harry Potter books because I read those with my dad which was a wonderful bonding experience. I also love Look Me in the Eye by John Elder Robinson. It is his life story about getting diagnosed with Asperger's in his adult life. It is both entertaining and informative about the autism spectrum in general. 4. Tell us about your favorite part of Oak Springs. I love how Oak Springs is a little community! The professors work so hard and find ways to support their scholars beyond class work. It is wonderful to work with such an amazing group of individuals. 5. If you could have any super power in the world, what would it be and why? I think I would choose teleporting. My family lives all over the country and I love to travel. If I could teleport, I could go places much faster and see my family much more often. 6. Fun fact! I can juggle :). Professor Bayoumi - LSSP1. How long have you been in your current position/teaching? I've been working as a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology for over 18 years. Before working in education, I worked in community mental health providing family counseling and also worked as part of an emergency mental health team. 2. What do you like most about your current grade/team? The special education team at Oaks Springs is awesome! I love coming to Oak Springs and working with the special education team and seeing the great things that they do to support children! 3. What is your favorite book and why? I love books! My favorite is usually whatever I'm reading at the time. I like good mysteries. The Dan Brown books are some of my favorites---history, secret codes,and, conspiracies---makes for great reading! One of my favorite children's books is The Snow Tree by Caroline Repchuk. 4. Tell us about your favorite part of Oak Springs. Easy to answer-----the students and the staff! 5. If you could have any super power in the world, what would it be and why? So many possibilities! I suppose I would ask for the power to travel to any place I wanted in the blink of an eye. I would go all over the world and into the past. I would visit museums, ancient ruins, monolithic stones and natural wonders. I think if I wasn't a LSSP I would be an anthropologist or archaeologist (with super powers of course). 6. Fun fact! I love natural stones, crystals and gem stones and spend any chance I get making jewelry. Professor Frost - Librarian1. How long have you been in your current position/teaching? I have been teaching for 20 years and have been at Oak Springs for 8 years. 2. What do you like most about your current grade/team? I love that I work with a team who are creative and talented, and pass on the excitement of the arts to our scholars. 3. What is your favorite book and why? I cannot just choose ONE favorite book! There are too many great ones! One of my favorite books is The Giver by Lois Lowry. I am drawn to it because it makes me look at our society and question what is right and wrong and what is useful and destructive. 4. Tell us about your favorite part of Oak Springs. I love the feel of the school. Our scholars are great! Also, the whole staff works as a team to help make a positive environment. I love coming to work!!! 5. If you could have any super power in the world, what would it be and why? My preferred super power would be to be a super speed reader, of course. That way I would have time to read all of the books I want! 6. Fun fact! I have lived in the U.S. for many years, but I was born in England and lived there until I was twelve. |
