Please help us welcome Brittany Brunning to the Brookwood Family! She will be teaching Early Childhood Special Education this year at our elementary school.
She graduated from University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 2011 and obtained a degree in Elementary Education as well as in Early Childhood Special Education. This will be her 11th year teaching and has found that each year that she teaches she finds it that much more fulfilling. She enjoys seeing her students excited to be at school and watching them get engaged in the activities presented. She believes that as a teacher, one of the most important aspects of teaching is the parent/ teacher team. She is very passionate about teaching and learning through technology and hand-on life experiences. Brunning believes that families play a large role in student success and plays a large role in students emotional and educational development.
Brunning and her family are very excited to become part of the Brookwood Family. They recently moved from Walworth to this area and have found the community to be very, very helpful and welcoming. Brunning has two daughters who will be attending Brookwood with her this year. When she is not lesson planning or writing IEP’s, you can find her with her family and friends. She enjoys reading, baking, spending time near water, and gardening. She also enjoys volunteering at her church where she is the preschool children’s ministry coordinator.
Brunning is very excited to meet you all and get this school year started with fun, learning and lots of new adventures.
Welcome to the Brookwood Family, Brittany!
