Keystone Individuals to Know
Mindy Reimer, Teacher Librarian
As your librarian I am here to serve and support the media needs in the classroom by enhancing our media collection to support exposure to quality resources for our two day van route deliveries to schools. I work directly with AEA Online Resources as a curator of those resources to support integration in the classroom through research, personalization and application ideas. It has been great to partner and serve with other Media Directors across our state to support learning and offer equitable resources to students and teachers no matter their geographic location.
Megan Elsinger, School Improvement Facilitator
Hello! My name is Megan Elsinger and I am a School Improvement Facilitator, working out of both the Elkader and Dubuque offices.
Prior to coming to Keystone, I served as an Instructional Coach and as a secondary social studies teacher. I am passionate about teacher leadership and the positive impact that it has on instruction and learning. I love to work in all areas of school improvement - from the systems level to the classroom level. Learning alongside teachers, coaches, and administrators is my favorite part of my role here at Keystone.
Laura Smith, Assistant Sector Coordinator-Sector One
I enjoy working for Keystone because I have the opportunity to work with so many schools and support the work that is being done each day. I love working with and supporting administrators, teachers, and paras. I have a variety of responsibilities with the agency but the two that allow me to work the most closely with schools at this time is my work with Iowa Alternate Assessment and Para Certification.
