Meet Our New Literacy Coach: Kelli Cook
I have been teaching pre-K through third grade for 15 years in Boston, Detroit, and then Lansing. I currently live in DeWitt with my husband and our two kids, 6 and 8. We also have a sweet fluffball dog named Charlie, who helps us foster animals from Michigan Humane Society and Capitol Area Humane Society. I love to learn new languages, actively participate in my community, read science fiction, play board games, and bake with my kids. As an educator, I believe that education should be accessible to every student and that teachers are a precious resource.
Picture Perfect STEM Training: A Success!
As the school year gets going, please don't hesitate to reach out to Ashley Windnagle (awindnagle@ccresa.org), Cecilia Stajos (cstajos@ccresa.org) or Kelli Cook (kcook@ccresa.org) with questions on implementation and support in utilizing the resources in the best way for your buildings.
