About Me
Hello! I am Scott Andersen, Ed.D.. I am father of 8 children and am a devoted educator. While my career path has included time as a photojournalist and software developer, I found my home, when I stepped into a 5th grade bilingual classroom as a substitute teacher. Two days later, I was hired as a full-time teacher. For the past 30 years, I have not looked back or regretted that decision! I now work with districts and state entities to open new schools centered on meeting the unique needs of each learner.
