Her educational background includes a B.S.E. in Special Ed., a M.S.E. in Reading and certification in Administration all of which were earned at the University of Central Arkansas. She has also completed 45 hours of graduate study above her Masters at the University of Central Arkansas. During the time which Mrs. Thacker was a teacher, she received the "Teacher of the Year" award while teaching at two different elementary schools in the Conway District. Mrs. Thacker is committed to the proposition that elementary education should form a seminal basis for a lifetime of learning and social responsibility by students. She believes that achievement of those goals is dependent upon dedicated teachers who continually emphasize character development to students, and who strive to develop their desire to learn through translation of evolving educational theory into classroom practice by means of proficient instruction and ongoing self improvement. |
