Children’s House (Ages 3-6)
Therese Ehrnschwender - Children’s House Primary Lead Guide
Therese Ehrnschwender has been involved in teaching and learning her entire life. Sometimes she’s the one soaking up the learning, other times she’s sharing her understandings with others young and old. Therese has always wanted to be a teacher. She earned her elementary teaching degree at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and her Master's degree in Curricular Design and Instruction at Cleveland State University. She also trained as a Reading Recovery teacher at Marshall University Graduate School.
Therese has been engaged in education for 38 years. Some of those years were as a classroom teacher primarily in K-2, others as a Title One teacher, and still others as the Literacy Specialist for Fayette County Schools. She is happiest when she is in the classroom.
She was introduced to NRGLC in 2012 when asked to join their board. In this role she worked with the teachers to problem-solve and identify ways to support and extend the students’ learning.
She retired from public education in 2017 and applied for a teaching position as NRGLC because she believes in the school’s mission and vision. She spent this past summer under the tutelage of Aimee Rist and Mariana Primavera and reading widely to build her understanding of Montessori theory and practice. She looks forward to all she will learn from the students, teachers, and parents of NRGLC in this next chapter of her teaching and learning life.
