“Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.” – Ryunosuke Satoro
Our staff here at AFL is nothing if not passionate about family literacy. It’s a requirement of the job. If you lack a genuine interest in the student’s success, they will recognize it immediately.
OUR TOP NOTCH STAFF
Ms. Nancy Etheredge- Math Instructor: Ms. Etheredge is a 30+ year teaching veteran of math and inspires our students to learn what most walk in the door thinking is impossible. Two days a week she challenges these adult minds to stretch & bend until the look of “I’ve got it!” streams across their faces.
Ms. Sheri Mitchell- Math, Social Studies & Science Instructor: Ms. Mitchell is also a 30+ teaching veteran who has gotten more quick witted with each year. Her teaching style balances a no-nonsense approach that is truly genuine and caring. The adult students respond to her very well. If all else fails, she tugs at their funny bone and has great success keeping engagement that way.
Mrs. Stacie Chamberlain-Career/Data Entry Specialist: Mrs. Chamberlain works with our adult students, helping them assess, plan and prepare for the next career step. Using OK Career Guide, she guides them through a process that ends with a career in mind, a resume and interviewing skills. Since collecting data is an important part of our sustainability, Stacie also collects intakes and hours and inputs them, keeping track of progress within the program.
Mrs. Jamie Rettig, a former student, joined our staff last year after she completed her High School Equivalency. Jamie was eager to learn all things Ardmore Family Literacy and continues to learn new ways to make our program great every day! She truly is a testament to what we do.
Mrs. Crystal Haught- Executive Director/Student Advocate: Mrs. Haught directs all aspects of the program from administration to head chauffeur. Passionate about giving a hand up, she spends one-on-one time with our adults to map out a strategy for achieving their goals as well as a plan for what comes after the GED.
