Mrs. Adnan, Section 504 Coordinator & Dyslexia Specialist

I graduated from St. Mary's University where I originally majored in Business Marketing. In 2013, I began my teaching career in South Korea for 3 amazing years. I came back in 2016 and became certified to teach in Texas. I have been with Lighthouse my entire Texas teaching career which is going on year 9.

 

This year is my third year as Lighthouse's Dyslexia Specialist as well as Section 504 Coordinator. I have been trained in "Build K-1" Intervention and completed "Reading by Design" dyslexia training. Additionally, I am certified as a "Wilson Reading System Practitioner" and provide intervention for students with dyslexia and dysgraphia. I am also certified in ESL & Special Education. 

 

In 2023 as a 1st grade teacher, I received the exemplary designation under the Teacher Incentive Allotment for my performance and student growth.  

 

In 2024, I was chosen for TEA's Teacher Leadership Fellowship and will be in my second year as a fellow this school year. 

 

This past December of 2024, I also achieved National Board Certification in the Area of Literacy.

 

When off the clock, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my two year old son.
