So Who are the ESOL Teachers??

Dr. Caldwell

 

 I am the lead ESOL teacher for this school year. I am a native New Yorker (Manhattan), who started in the field of Education as a high school senior, working with a third grade class at the Don Pedro Albizu Campos School (P.S. 161, Manhattan). Next, I joined the United States Air Force, and honorably served during Desert Storm. Thanks to the U.S. Air Force, I completed my undergraduate and graduate education in Elementary Education and Curriculum and Instruction respectively in Wichita, Kansas. After moving to Clayton County, Georgia in July 2002, I completed my Educational Specialist and Doctorate degree in Educational Leadership. I began employment with the Clayton County Schools, teaching second and third grades at Lake Ridge Elementary in 2002. This is where I gained tremendous exposure, interest, and inspiration to become an ESOL teacher. Overall, I'm beginning my 23rd year of teaching and I'm glad to be back with the Clayton County School System, and working in this warm-hearted community.


Mrs. Draper



Mrs. Draper served as an ESOL teacher at Smith, and kindergarten and third grades at Kilpatrick Elementary prior to joining us at Anderson. She is a native of Peoria, Illinois (home of comedian Richard Pryor). She attended Brenau University, and earned her Master's degree. With her help, Mrs. Draper has committed her time to help our students exceed progress as they matriculate through this school year.  


Ms. Wills:

We welcome Ms. Wills as our newest ESOL teacher. However, Ms. Wills is not new to Anderson Elementary. She was raised in the Metro Atlanta area. Ms. Wills has been a third grade, second grade, and EIP teacher here at Anderson Elementary since 2016. She attended Georgia State University and earned her bachelors and masters degrees in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. She also attended University of West Georgia and earned her specialist degree in Instructional Technology. She is looking forward to an amazing school year.
