Meet Mrs. Brock

Hi! My name is Mrs. Brock, and here are some fun facts about me:

• I’m an open-minded tech coordinator and second grade teacher wanting to do what’s best for kids using the science and research of how kids learn best. I have an old soul with the heart of a child. I’m always willing to work with, listen, and learn from others to go back to the drawing board to figure out solutions to help each child, parent, and teacher.
• Called to be a teacher, and I love it. I’m learning all the time with those around me!
• I have a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education from Auburn and a certification in Physical Education.
• I have a Masters in TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Auburn and an Instructional Leadership certification from the University of Montevallo. 
• I have a wonderful, thoughtful husband, Bradley, who is the Estimating Division Manager at Marathon Electrical Contractors and works hard to prioritize our family.
• We have a friendly, active toddler, Levi!
• My hobbies are educational development, trail running, maintaining my household, writing, reading the newspaper, photography, and exercising!
• I really value parent communication, input, feedback and collaboration. It takes a village!
• It’s a big step up from 1st grade to 2nd, but I’m here for you and your child in the process. 🙂

My Favorites:

• children’s book authors: Jon Klassen, Mac Barnett, Tomie de Paola, and Mo Willems

• season: Fall
