Lisa Witteman My Introduction

Professional Information

I have been teaching for (gulp) 29 years. This will be my eighth year teaching at Sanders and fourteenth year teaching in Georgia. I have taught primary students in both General Education and Special Education. I started as a Kindergarten Teacher and now I have a chance to be one again! It is very exciting!

I started my professional education by attending SUNY at Broome in Binghamton, NY. I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and ECE from Kennesaw State University, my Masters Certificate in Special Education from University of Georgia ( GO DAWGS! ). I am recently graduated from Georgia Southern University in the Graduate Instructional Technology Program. I believe that a teacher, or any one for that matter, should never stop learning !

My Educational Background

My Personal BackgroundI am originally from Binghamton, NY. I lived there for 32 years. I moved to Layfette, CO for a year, but I prefer being close to the ocean then surrounded by mountains (although they were beautiful). I moved to Georgia and have loved it! I consider myself a transplant and my grandchildren make fun of my "accent".

I am the eighth child in my family, a wife, a mother of a wonderful daughter, a mother-in-law, an aunt, a cousin and most important a grandmother of four.

Who am I outside of school?
