Brooke McGee

Brooke McGhee grew up in the midwest and graduated from Indiana University with a degree in social work. After working as an alcoholism counselor for five years Brooke and her husband started having kids and she decided to make a job change. The whole family moved to Atlanta and shortly thereafter, Brooke began studying education at Mercer University. Upon completion of the certification process, she began teaching at Avondale Elementary School, where she has been for the past five years. She spent two years teaching second grade and then began Reading Recovery training at Georgia State.

Brooke has spent the last three years as a certified Reading Recovery teacher, teaching Reading to struggling readers in first, second and third grades. She loved teaching Reading, but always missed having her own class and knew that one day she would want to return to the classroom. Her own children went to a Constructivist school in Decatur and she is quite excited about having the opportunity to be a classroom teacher in a school that embraces that philosophy of teaching.
