About me
Sally is a dedicated instructional leader, educational advocate and researcher, and has over 20 years of teaching experience as an elementary teacher, reading interventionist and most recently, a multilingual learning (MLL) specialist. Sally also does contract work for WEA, OSPI and NBPTS writing culturally responsive curriculum, and supporting the National Board certification process.
She has varied and broad work experience in supporting every student and teachers' success using MTSS, UDL, accountable talk and translanguaging. Her passion is lifting those families who have the potential to be farthest away from educational and social justice; Sally believes that every student succeeds, no exceptions!
Sally is a life-long learner; she is a Nationally Board-Certified Teacher in English as a New Language/Early-Middle Childhood. She also holds master's degrees in Elementary Education and English Language Learning; Sally is currently in a PhD Doctoral program at Seattle Pacific University with a focus on language, literacy and culturally sustaining frameworks to elevate our MLLs' success!
