My name is Tammy Riddell. I am a mother of three young men and a
native of Stephenson County. I have worked in elementary schools
for a little more than a decade as a Family Resource Coordinator
and I have experienced the IEP process with my own children. I am
looking forward to sharing the knowledge I have gained as a parent,
and as a Parent Mentor. I hope to help provide parents with the
tools and information necessary to help their children succeed in
school.
I have learned that parents do understand better than anyone;
how important it is for schools and parents work together to
prepare students for success in life; not just with academic
knowledge, but with the skills needed for young people to succeed
in general. If a parent wants a partner to guide them through the
IEP process, supply tools, or teach advocacy skills for their
child's educational rights, call your Parent Mentor.
When parents actively advocate for their children, their
children will grow up with an instilled value for education and a
desire to be self advocates. The evolutions of loving and educated
families are recreated, each generation; becoming stronger and
stronger!
Thank you for joining me on this new adventure! Call or
email me with any questions, thoughts or resources.
