Ashley Kay: I received my B.S. in Early Childhood Education from UWG in 2009. I am one of the lucky educators that have not been so lucky to find a teaching job. I was married in October to my amazing husband. We have a daughter who will be turning one in March. After this semester I will be graduating with my masters degree in Early Childhood Education. I refuse to give up my dream of teaching just because jobs are not readily available. Teaching is where my heart is!!! Jennifer Jackson:

I received my B.S. in Early Childhood Education from UWG in 2005. After graduating, I started working at Chattanooga Valley Elementary in Flintstone, GA, which is located directly below the well-known Rock City tourist attraction. In the last 8 years I’ve taught 5th grade, Math Laboratory, and Technology. Currently, I teach our gifted population (K-5th), in addition to overseeing technology implementation for our school. I am currently am working on my M. Ed. in Instructional Technology.

Matt Harris: I am currently the principal of Gilbert Elementary in Walker County. This will be my first full year as principal. Previously, I was the assistant principal for 2.5 years and I taught fourth grade before that. This is my 3rd semester in the EDS program. I wanted to pursue instructional technology because I feel it will help me better support my teachers and our students. I am married with two children. My wife is a Pre-K teacher. My daughter is in 6th grade, and our son Jack is four. Outside of school, I train in and teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo.
