Introducing Susie Englehart, Learning Specialist

Learning Specialist.

 

What are one or two highlights of your life? 

I've lived in the Detroit Metro area for my entire life. I was brave and moved to Charlotte, NC for the past two years. Putting myself out there, teaching in a middle school setting, meeting new people, and reconnecting with family was an amazing experience. I am happy to be back in Michigan!

 

I was born and raised in the Detroit Metro area. I have two sons that have graduated from college and now live in NYC.

 

I enjoy spending time outside walking, hiking, and paddle boarding. Connecting with family and friends fills up most of my free time. During quiet moments I enjoy reading, yoga, knitting, and needlepoint. I LOVE to travel!

 

I love teaching literacy skills to students of all ages. When a person "unlocks the code" and realizes that letters create words that make meaning is awesome to be a part of. The ability to read and comprehend is a priceless gift that unlocks endless opportunities for people. I am so thankful I am able to contribute to this life long skill.

   

I was curious about the Learning & Wellness initiative and realized it aligned with my personal and professional values.The attention given to students and their individual needs is thoughtful and important. Students and staff are seen, heard, and valued here. I am honored to take on the role of learning specialist at the middle school.

 

Relationships are so important to me! Connecting with people, being curious about what is interesting to them, and learning from each other is my love language. I jump at the opportunity to meet up with family, friends, and new people.
