Interventionist

What is an interventionist?

An interventionist assists schools with identifying challenges, and providing solutions to maximize learning for all students. 

What do we do? 

Whether behavior, reading, or instruction, each of us determines structures and systems to support our school in meeting our school target goals and achieve our mission here at Greenbrier. We look at data and trends in our specific areas of support to use high yield strategies for success.

Hello Sidewinders!!

I am excited to share my love of learning with all the students, teachers, and families here at Greenbrier! I am an Arizona native, and have lived in the Phoenix area all my life. My husband and I have one adult son, and several furry children ( 3 West Highland Terriers)  as well! My family and I enjoy attending Volkswagen events and camp outs. We also enjoy fixing up and restoring Volkswagens. The best part about being an Instructional Coach is serving the whole community and supporting learning for ALL!
