Hi. My name is Janet Mitchell. This is my 24th year in education. During my career I have served as a classroom teacher, literacy staff developer, reading specialist, ESL teacher/coach/mentor, and now, I am the 3rd - 5th grade instructional reading coach at Smyrna Elementary School. Literacy is a passion of mine! Fostering an environment of teaching and learning that promotes curiosity and critical thinking, while growing the whole-child, is only part of my work. I am also able to lead colleagues and parents onto paths of exploration, finding ways to best support and grow their students' literacy knowledge. I am always just a phone call or email away! Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]
