Emily Townsend

K-8 ELL Teacher

I taught for over a decade in classrooms from K-8th grade, both as an ELL specialist and general education teacher. I love working collaboratively with other teachers to create interdisciplinary content that meets the needs of all learners. I love spending time outside in every way- camping, hiking, and learning about new flora and fauna. I've lived in many places across the country and have seen the effects of climate change on our land and water, I am excited to work with a team who is passionate about teaching about our planet and the effects of human activity.
