Dedicated to the
student-centered classroom
"Julie Williamson is an exceptional middle school educator who truly teaches
from a student-centered philosophy! In working with Julie for five years at
Maple Grove Middle, I always looked forward to seeing Julie's student
writing
projects because I knew Julie had taught the literacy skills well and given
her
students writing feedback on an individual instructional level. You will be
glad
you invested in this classroom resource!"
—Ann Perrin, Principal, Skyridge Middle School, Camas, WA

Along with her teaching experience, Ms. Williamson has two children of her
