Ms. Deborah Davis has joined our staff this school year as an Excel Reading Clinic Coordinator. A native of Ohio, Deborah began her teaching career as an Urban Teacher Corps intern in Washington D.C., simultaneously teaching and earning her credential.

Following a move to the Bay Area, Deborah taught at the elementary as well as the community college level, earning two Master’s Degrees along the way. As a teacher at Piedmont Avenue and Markham, she developed a passion for equipping primary grade students to become enthusiastic readers. Later, she served as principal at Garfield Elementary in San Leandro and Parker Elementary in Oakland.

Deborah and her husband Bruce have one son, who lives in New York, and two grandchildren. Deborah’s hobbies include flower arranging and home decorating; Bruce is an avid fisherman, home repair and landscape expert.

We are delighted that Deborah is on our team and we look forward to a wonderful year!

Blessings,
Rebecca Buckley,
Director of Succeeding by Reading
