Hello!  My name is Sarah Blattner, and I am an English Language Arts and AVID Elective Teacher at Southridge High School (Go Skyhawks!). I bring more than 20 years of experience in and around the secondary classroom as a teacher, state-wide professional development leader, a technology integration specialist, and an online coach and instructor.

Most recently, I finished a Certificate in the Teaching of Writing with the Oregon Writing Project at Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education.  I also earned a reading endorsement from Portland State University, and I hold a Post-Graduate Degree Certificate in Multimedia and Internet-based Instruction from the Johns Hopkins University, a Master of Arts in Secondary Education, and a Bachelor of Arts in English, graduating magna cum laude from The Ohio State University (Go Bucks!).

When I am not teaching, tweeting, or blogging, I enjoy spending time with my children, running trails in the woods, reading young adult literature, and writing.
