Introduction

Hi!

I am Lisa Witteman. I am the New Special Ed Teacher. I am excited and very pleased to be working with you!

Professional Information

I have been teaching for (gulp) 30 years. This will be my fifteenth year teaching in Georgia, nine years spent teaching in a GA school system and six years in Specialized (Piaget and Reggio) learning centers . I have taught primary students in both General Education and Special Education. I currently am an IRR co teacher at Atlanta Heights Charter School.

Yes I was blonde

I started my professional education by attending SUNY at Broome in Binghamton, NY. I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and ECE from Kennesaw State University, my Masters Certificate in Special Education from University of Georgia ( GO DAWGS! ). Most recently I received my M.Ed. In Instructional Technology from Georgia Southern

My Educational Background

My Personal Background

I am originally from Binghamton, NY. I lived there for 32 years. I moved to Layfette, CO for a year, but I prefer being close to the ocean then surrounded by mountains (although they were beautiful). I moved to Georgia and have loved it! I consider myself a transplant and my grandchildren make fun of my "accent".

I am the eighth child in my family, a wife, a mother of a wonderful daughter, a mother-in-law, an aunt, a cousin and most important a grandmother of four.

Who am I outside of school?
