Miss Cole's Bio

Miss Cole is a highly-qualified teacher with over 20 years of experience in primary and intermediate education. She grew up on a farm in the very small town called Markleville, Indiana and graduated from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and has a gifted education endorsement. Miss Cole is dedicated to public school education and has been a teacher at Decatur Classical for over 15 years and was a 2021 Golden Apple Teacher.

Miss Cole loves to laugh and wants to make learning fun for all students! She is so excited to be the school interventionist to work along side teachers and help with MTSS and targeted student supports. Miss Cole also works as a Restorative Practitioner at Decatur and helps with restorative practices and talking circles in all classrooms.

When she is not teaching, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, cheering on her favorite NFL team the Indianapolis Colts, watching documentaries, and reading!

NWEA - Reading

The 2nd & 3rd grade classes will take the NWEA for Reading starting tomorrow, Wednesday, January 15th.

READING NWEA assessment will be on Wednesday and Thursday of this week during our regular Language Arts time.

The only thing you need to do to prepare is to make sure your child knows they should try to do their best. I have had a goal conference with each student and we discussed their strengths and areas we have worked on for growth so far this year. The results of this assessment will be shared with you with the second quarter report card at the beginning of February.
