Mrs. Nancy Jackson

Gifted Education Facilitator
 
I have been in the field of education for over 35 years. During that time, I have taught middle school science, directed and was head teacher of a preschool, taught as a middle school at-risk tutor, taught second grade, taught six years as the K-8 gifted facilitator in Hiawatha, KS, and I have been with LVS as the gifted facilitator for over fifteen years.

I received my undergraduate degree in elementary education from Benedictine College in Atchison, and my masters in gifted education from Emporia State University.  I have also completed the training to become a facilitator for SENG (Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted) Parent Support Groups.

I have two married adult sons, and four grandchildren!  My husband is an RN in the emergency room of our local hospital. He is also an amazing carpenter and has remodeled our entire house, plus he and my sons built a trebuchet with a 900 pound counter-weight and an ice skating rink in our backyard.  We live on an organic farm near Robinson, Kansas.  We enjoy the fields, timber, pond, creek, garden, and organic grain, beef, and poultry from the farm.

I love interacting with and getting to know my students and their families and getting to learn all about their passions and their interests.
