Hooker Oak Staff Spotlight
Laura Holman, Title One Teacher
Hi All!
I am Laura Holman, the Title 1Teacher for Hooker Oak, which means I support all teachers, staff, and students in some capacity. I also oversee the Learning Center with my partner teacher Stacey and act as Teacher-in-Charge when Principal Emily is away from the school. I have both multi-subject and education specialist credentials. The Title 1 position gives me a unique opportunity to act as a bridge between general education and special education. I teach part-time at Chico State, which enables me to keep current on and share new trends and best practices in education. Before my current position, I was a special education teacher for 13 years and a classroom teacher for Kindergarten and fourth and fifth grades. Prior to working in the field of education, I held various other jobs such as a welfare case manager, quality assurance team leader, and workers compensation adjudicator. I much prefer my current career choice as a teacher! Hooker Oak is a very special place to work. I believe our teachers, staff, students, and parents are second to none. I love the family atmosphere and truly feel Hooker Oak is my second home. I share my “other” home with my husband, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 1 fish. Our beautiful daughter has blessed us recently with two grandsons who we love to spoil and watch grow.
