Hi! My name is Dana Gleason and I will be teaching 3rd grade at IA this upcoming school year. I have a BA in Elementary Education from Stockton University in New Jersey. I am currently working towards my MA in Special Education and Cultural Diversity through the University of Colorado. I grew up in New Jersey before heading to Colorado right after college. I have been teaching in Breckenridge CO for the past 8 years. My husband and I decided to trade in the snow for the beach which led us to beautiful San Diego. In my spare time I love to hike with my dog, paddleboard and see live music.
