Hello, my name is Kate Gardner. I live in Deltaville, Va., and teach TMD Students at Dozier Middle School in Newport News. I have a husband Jeff who runs Gardner General Services in Deltaville, and a son Jeff who attends VCU (Mass Comm Creative Advertising major). We have a dog named Brownie and three cats, Tiger, Boot, and CoCo. I like to sing, play the piano, take pictures, and go on trips with my friends.

I have a BS Degree in Elementary Education from Villa Maria College, Erie, Pa., and a Masters Degree in Special Education from Slippery Rock University, Pa. I have taught elementary grades for five years in Butler, Pennsylvania, and Special Education in Middlesex, Gloucester, and Newport News for about twenty two years.

I love working with the Special Education students and am taking this course to renew my teaching license.
