Preparing Young Learners is actually a husband and wife team, both of us with 12 years of teaching experience. Along our 12 year journey two kids and a dog have joined us. This blog is about our teaching experiences in an inner-city, urban district and teaching our own children.
Preparing Young Learners
The wife
Jen is currently her districts K-8 Literacy Teaching and Learning Facilitator (which is fancy for district reading coach). Previously, she taught 4th and 5th grade elementary and 6th, 7th and 8th grade middle school science.

The husband
Tim is currently a Teaching and Learning Facilitator for a 1-8 public school Montessori (that's fancy for Instructional Coach). Before that he was a middle school and high school social studies teacher. He has taught western hemisphere geography, eastern hemisphere geography, american history (middle school and high school), high school civics, high school global issues, high school human geography, economics, a current events class and was even an athletic director for his high school for a year!

The Team
We met when we happened to be on a middle school team together- he taught social studies, she taught science. Together we have two kids. The oldest is 6 and rapidly learning to be a better reader. The youngest is 4 and just learning the basics of reading. Together we have a passion for learning and love anything that involves education (we've been to a million zoos, aquariums, etc.)!
