My name is Emily Broadrick.  I am so excited to be at LaVergne Lake!  

I am from Nashville, Tennessee.  I have a Bachelor's Degree from Harding University.  I taught preschool for seven years in Nashville at Minds in Motion dayschool and Vanderbilt Child and Family Center.  I obtained my CDA through TECTA.   

I started graduate school at Austin Peay University in Clarksville, TN.  I originally wanted to teach secondary Earth Science, but found out 1 1/2 semesters in that that was not a certificate that APSU does.  However, I loved my Special Education Classes. They were fascinating.  Moreover, the students won my heart.  I graduated in 2013 with a Master's in Teaching with a Special Education emphasis.

 

I have been teaching students with a range of issues since January, 2014.  Many of my students have had a unique diagnosis and I love finding what works for them.  The most important things for me are to help my students communicate and be as independent as possible.  I love Assistive Technology and Augmentative Alternative communication.

 

Here are a few of my favorite things:

Colors: Purple and blue

Store: JoAnn's, Target, Starbucks, Sonic

Hobbies: Singing, sewing, knitting, spinning yarn, reading, baking, teaching

TV: NCIS, science fiction
I have been married since September 2018.  I have one stepchild.  I have one cat (Dumbledore).
