My name is Mrs. Pederson and I am excited to work with teachers and students at Jackson Keller as the Science Instructional Coach!  This will be my first year back at Jackson Keller, but my twenty-seventh year in education, all in Northeast ISD.  Most of my time has been spent teaching science in fifth grade; however, I have taught pre-k, kinder, and third grade.  I absolutely LOVE science, and look forward to working along side students and teachers to reach their maximum potential.

I was born and raised right here in San Antonio, TX.  After graduating from Madison High School, I attended Southwest Texas State University where I received a degree in elementary education.  My husband and I have two beautiful girls… Paige, who attends Texas Tech, and Reese, who is a junior at Johnson HS.  In my free time, I love working in the yard, camping, shopping, and watching high school football!

I look forward to an AWESOME year as a Jackrabbit.  My goal for all students is to continue to grow as life-long learners; having a positive outlook on life and education.

I can’t wait to begin learning and growing with you!
