Dawn Wasden Literacy Coach & Reading Specialist Westbrook Elementary
I have been in education for 25 years. I taught fourth grade for 1 year, first grade for 15 years and was a staff developer for a different district for 4 years and then Reading Interventionist/Literacy Coach for 5 years in the Granite School District. I have been priveleged to be at Westbrook either part or full time for all 5 years. I received my Bachelors of Education from BYU, sorry Ute fans. I have a Master of Education from Southern Utah University and I have four teaching endorsements which include English as a Second Language, Technology, Reading Level One, and Reading Level Two. The first three from Southern Utah University and the Level Two Reading from Utah State. When I was teaching first grade, I knew I needed to know more to be successful as a reading teacher. It was definitely worth it. I loved first graders and have since learned to love all the grades. All ages bring varied and interesting experiences to a classroom. I will have been married to my husband for 44 years on October 8 of this year, 2020. We have six children and 12 grandchildren. My family means the world to me as yours does to you.
