Tania Hogan
My name is Tania Hogan.
I was born in AcapulcoMexico and my family (dad, mom, and sister)
moved to the United Stateswhen I was five years old. I've lived in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington, California
and finallyColorado,
where I've been the last 16 years. My dad, Tony, is Mexican and my mom, Terry, is Hungarian and French. My husband, Jeremy
and I have two children, Noah and Emily.
They keep us very busy! We enjoy
spending time with our families, hiking, camping and swimming. We especially like to dress up as a family
for Halloween! I love reading, painting,
listening to people's life stories, taking pictures and scrapbooking!
I've wanted to be a teacher since I was little and remember
setting up all my stuffed animals as my "pretend" students and
teaching them! I struggled in school
trying to learn English, since we only spoke Spanish at home, and had a
wonderful teacher in fourth grade, Mr. Phillips, who really took the time to
help me and he inspired me to work hard and never give up. I want to continue to make a difference and
help students be enthusiastic and passionate about school and to try and do
their best! I love teaching and can't
imagine doing anything else!
I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and my
Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, both from the University of Colorado at Denver.
In my eighth year at Goldrick, I am the UCD Site Coordinator
and have the opportunity to work with students, teachers and teacher candidates
in all grades. This has been a wonderful
learning experience! Previously I taught
second grade for seven years.
Why do I LOVE Goldrick?
We have a hard working staff who really care about the kids and who work
together to make learning FUN and educational! Of course, we also have the BEST
students who make us proud every day!
I believe that all children can learn, and everyone has
different strengths and abilities and we need to discover what those are. I also believe that being bilingual is a gift
and it is important to share our culture and backgrounds with others.
