Welcome!
I am excited to have the opportunity to work with many teachers around the district to ensure a quality learning experience for everyone as we teach all and reach all students. I am here to help teachers bring learners to life for all learners.
This will be my eighth-year in the Urbandale CSD. I graduated from William Penn University in Oskaloosa in December 2014 with certification in both elementary and special education and from Upper Iowa University in December 2022 with a Masters in Instructional Strategist I, K-8 Emphasis .
I believe that the future is our children, and that ever child has the ability to shape their own future into whatever they would like. My goal is to assess teachers as they help students succeed, and give them the knowledge that they need to accomplish what they set their mind to. As I go forth in my career I thrive on watching children learn and seeing that moment when they fully understand what they have been working on. As well as watching the teachers see their hard work and dedication pay off when their students has success and meets their goals.
The journey so far has been a learning experience. Each person is unique with different experiences, and this year will not be different. I have enjoyed each experience along the way and am looking forward to getting to know and work with all of you.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Belford
