Gifted Program Mentor
Paradise Valley Unified School District, Phoenix, Arizona
ElizaBeth Warner
As the Gifted Program Mentor, I guide, encourage, and support our teachers in gifted programs from preschool - high school. I provide leadership with curriculum implementation, instructional strategies, and professional learning. My passion is inquiry-driven instruction, creative problem-solving, mastery learning, and inspiring teachers and students to embrace a journey of life-long learning.
I've taught for 18 years in Paradise Valley - all within gifted education. My experience includes serving as a cluster teacher, gifted specialist, and program mentor. Additionally, I am the proud parent of two daughters who received PVUSD gifted services from kindergarten through high school.
I look forward to providing support and resources for your teachers, parents, and students.
Kindly,
ElizaBeth Warner
