1.+Suzanne+Lisenby+NBCT+State+Leader+for+Hill+Day+2008

Hello everyone! I'm excited to be selected as your state team leader and look forward to meeting everyone as we rock and roll the "hill" with our ideas.

A little about me:

I live in Birmingham and have all my life. I have been teaching since 1976 - first in private schools - and then going "public" in 1984. I graduated from Alabama in 1976 and received my Masters from Samford University in 1986. I taught in the Jefferson County School District from 1984 - 2005 in kindergarten, first, second, and third. I moved to the Vestavia Hills City School district teaching first grade at Liberty Park in 2005 and have been there ever since. I also achieved NBCT in 2005 so it was a pretty big year for me! I was honored to be named Liberty Park's Teacher of the Year in 2007.

You could say I have tenacity because it took me all three years to get certified! I was not going to give up and am so glad I didn't! I serve the Jefferson County Stellar Program as a candidate support provider now and love working with new candidates.

I am married to Stan - originally from Ozark, Alabama - going on 29 years this September. We have one daughter, Carol, who is 24, and working on her Masters in Family Consumer Sciences at Montevallo - she will be interning next spring, maybe in one of your schools : )

I will share more as I hear from you. Can't wait to meet you! CONTACT INFORMATION: Suzanne R.
