Background

About Stacey Smith

I am an experienced and caring professional with extensive, 24 years to be exact, of educating students. With all those years, I know that successful students become successful adults. Given the knowledge I have acquired over the years, it has become extremely important for me to make sure my students have a positive, engaging, and comfortable environment for Reading to earn maximum gains in and hopefully develop an appreciation of Reading at the same time. I taught 7 years in Hillsborough County and 17 years in Pasco County. I have only taught in the Middle School setting because it has always been my favorite age group to teach. I earned my teaching credentials from USF and majored in Specific Learning Disabilities. Some of my educational highlights include: Trained in the following areas: CRISS Teaching Techniques Collaborative Teaching Techniques The Strategies Intervention Model Suicide Awareness Skills Behavior Modification ESOL Endorsement Reading Endorsement Every school year I anxiously await to meet my new group students. You will come to realize I don't just teach Reading I LOVE Reading and hope to share my passion for Reading with my students every school year.
