Hello! I'm Emily Jorgenson and I am a literacy coach at Heber Valley Elementary School.
I began teaching 24 years ago in Davis County. I spent seven years at Wasatch Elementary in Clearfileld, UT teaching students with severe behavior disorders and learning disabilities. In 2005, I moved back to Midway, UT which is where I grew up, and got a job teaching resource at Heber Valley Elementary. I taught students with mild/moderate disabilities for five years and then began working as an Intervention Specialist which I did for seven years before recently becoming a literacy coach.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Special Education with an emphasis in mild/moderate disabilities and a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. In addition, I have the following endorsements: ELL, Math, Administration, and Reading. I also recently became a LETRS facilitator and enjoy sharing my love of literacy with other teachers throughout Utah.
I live in Midway with my husband and four children. I enjoy traveling, reading, and being with my family and I especially love when I can do all three of these things together!
