Meet Ms. Powell
Teaching has been a dream of mine since childhood. In high school, I became a member of the Future Teachers of America Club. At the age of sixteen, I lost my biggest fan and supporter (my mother), so I gave up on my dream. At 24, I revisited that dream and started my journey.
After moving to North Carolina, I started a career in mental health that I really enjoyed. At the age of 50, the yearning to teach returned to my heart. Because of my mental health degree and experience, I wanted to become an exceptional children’s teacher; therefore, I returned to school for EC classes.
To start teaching without my education degree, I entered the Lateral Entry Program for teachers to complete their education degree and receive licensure. I was able to transfer my previous Elementary Education credits to the program. This path was the best and happiest journey of my life. I love teaching for the joy of helping others grow. Born to teach!
I am employed by Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools as a K-12 Exceptional Children Teacher (10 years). I am trained and certified in Orton-Gillingham and Foundations of Reading. At present, I am taking classes to add to my current license as a reading specialist. It is my firm belief that reading development starts at birth and continues throughout life.
