Joanna Bartley

My education career started in 2011 when I finished my BS in Elementary Education. I took a year off, then began my Master's degree in Special Education, which I completed in 2014. I have been in virtual and brick and mortar schools ever since student teaching, and I feel right at home! I have been trained in IEP writing and completion and have performed the writing of IEPs since 2011. I love to help people learn new things, to further their own education; using career college courses, artisan contractor studies, or workforce knowledge to start a job tomorrow. When I am blessed to help others learn new things and have new experiences, my heart is full! From fourteen years in teaching, and more years than that in raising our own children, I see so many ways for people to learn things in their own ways and in their own timeframes. I am a lifelong learner myself, and encourage others to be, also.

Laura Blum

Hi! I’m Laura. I am a special education teacher with over 15 years of experience. I have taught children ranging in age from 2 months to 21 years. I got into the field because I wanted to help people and make a difference in people’s lives. I loved helping these individuals learn who they are and rise to their potential. I firmly believe that it is important to show that even though we all have strengths, weaknesses and limitations, we each have a purpose and have the ability to achieve so much when given the opportunity and support that we need. In my free time I am an avid reader of fantasy literature and mythology, which is my escape from the real world. I also write poetry and children’s stories. Sometimes I enjoy singing. I do like to watch comedies, especially from the 80’s. Much of my free time is spent with my amazing 8-year-old son. He challenges me and inspires me every day to be better and to live life to its fullest.
