Ms. Emily Witham
Ms. Emily Witham has the essential job of supporting students with behavioral regulation throughout their school days. Our youngest Garrett Schenck learners are in excellent hands with Ms. Witham. Her positive attitude, calm demeanor, strong work ethic, and commitment to students make her an excellent team member.
Prior to her current position, Ms. Witham worked as a long-term substitute in the district’s preschool program in Solon. She also worked as a swim instructor and lifeguard at Peak Rehabilitation Center. She acquired her Ed Tech I certification and later worked to acquire her Ed Tech II certification. She is currently working as a Special Education Ed Tech II at Garrett Schenck School.
Ms. Witham’s strong work ethic and commitment to student learning are evident throughout her day. She consistently builds strong relationships with students and supports them in gaining success in the mainstream classroom. She encourages her students to develop improved academic skills, emotional regulation, and greater independence.
Emily is a natural-born helper and nurturer. She brings high energy and positivity to her work regardless of how challenging situations may become. She is a role model to other staff and an incredible trainer. She provides guidance, explanation, and modeling with patience and accuracy for new staff, substitutes, and even classroom teachers who may be unfamiliar with students she knows well. Her ability to share what she knows about students in a supportive and practical way is an asset to the entire team.
Ms. Witham continually goes above and beyond for her students and staff at Garrett. She offers helpful suggestions, willingly shares her knowledge and skills, and is a consistent source of support for other educational technicians.
We are thankful that Ms. Witham is a member of our RSU #74 staff. We are happy to honor her in the October Staff Spotlight. Thank you, Emily, for all that you do for our students and district!
