AMY TURRENTINE ROBERTS

My husband and I live in this community with our two children, and we are all quite involved in it. My children are
being educated here, and my husband also went through Gwinnett County Schools.
I adore teaching and have thrived in this wonderful profession for twenty-one plus years. Motivating and challenging
students (and staff members) to excel and to empower them to achieve at their highest levels with a positive and
energetic attitude is my strength. I am a leader and work well with others to do whatever it takes to encourage students
to be self motivated leaders, life long learners, and role models.
The Quality Plus Teaching Strategies are what I implement every day to aid my students in every aspect of their
learning. I am very proud of my success in the classroom and beyond, and I have helped facilitate the learning of
hundreds of children and adults throughout my career. I look forward to the rest of this professional journey and beyond.
Seeking a new adventure and job in a higher level education position is a thrilling prospect and has been a goal I
am extremely eager to take on in the coming school year. I am looking so forward to this new endeavor and can't wait to
see where this new challenge leads. I am quite willing to add to my certifications for any position that is a good fit for me
and my next job.
