RONDA ESCALERA

TEACHER - ESS

Hello, I’m Ronda Escalera. I grew up in Anaheim, California, close to Disneyland. I remained close there while raising four sons, who have now given me seven grandchildren. My husband and I now have made our home here in Globe, Arizona.

My Education/Career - My college start was from California State University, Fullerton, where I majored in Business, with information systems concentration, earning my Bachelor’s degree. (This was the field I worked in while raising our children). Later, when our children grew up, I went back to college because it had always been my dream to be a teacher. At Azusa Pacific University I earned my teaching credentials in multiple subjects elementary, and I worked for a few years as a general education teacher. Believing my strength was in helping those students who have special needs, I went back to college. I earned my credentials and master's degree in special education, and have been teaching and supporting exceptional students who have specific needs and talents.

My Interests/hobbies - Animal preservation, spending time with my children and grandchildren, camping, and crafts.
