Katelynn Lyons, 5th Grade teacher in the Moscow School District. I am going into my 4th year of teaching. My degree is Education Leadership, and I hope to maybe one day become a principal if that is where life takes me. I am not sure what I am interested in researching right now. Maybe politics and the benefit of skill grouping. Hoping to get a better idea of this class before choosing.
