Theresa Knapp
Heritage Elementary, Olentangy Local Schools
Intervention Specialist
I have been an intervention specialist at Olentangy Local Schools for the past 20 years. I am a lifelong learner and am always striving to improve my teaching practice. Making strong connections with students to help foster their growth is key. This year I have looked critically at how to get students engaged in authentic learning experiences especially with phonics and literacy.
When I am not teaching, I spend most weekends dressed as a Ghostbuster, volunteering my time for local charities. I also enjoy camping and hiking. I am an avid dog lover, with 2 dogs of my own. I also enjoy fostering dogs and helping them to find permanent homes.
