Hi! 

I am a Social and Emotional Learning instructor for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.  I attended the University of Washington for my M.Ed. and Gonzaga University for my B.A. in Psychology.  For the past eleven years I worked as an IA in special education classrooms for SPS as well as coached Cross Country, Special Olympics basketball and Special Olympics Unified Soccer.  Mindfulness, kinesiology, soccer, weightlifting, and the culinary arts are a few of my widely varied interests.  I continue to be impressed by my colleagues at Eckstein and am lucky to be a part of such a professional and positive environment. 

Biography

If you talk to Donna for more than a few minutes, you can tell she began her teaching career on the East Coast -- over 30 years ago in Washington, D.C. She and her family moved to Seattle in 2001, and she has worked in many SPS programs over the past 15+ years. Donna currently supports students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) at Wedgwood, helping them to access general education, grade level curriculum.

When not in the classroom, Donna loves to spend time with her 3 adult children, to dig in her garden, and to wander the Wedgwood neighborhood.
