Information about our school's creator, Dr. Eldon Rosenow-- COMING SOON!
Hello! My name is Lindsey Duran and I am the Smart Reading System Coach and Program Teacher for the GVA Salida campus.
I started teaching with Great Valley Academy at GVA Manteca's inception (2010-2011). I have 7 years of teaching experience, and have worked with children from preschool to sixth grade. I have taught kindergarten through third grade. For the past three years, I have been working hand-in-hand with other GVA teachers, Administration and Great Valley Smart staff to create our Smart Reading System. This program has become very near and dear to my heart, as well as my mind. I have always had a strong interest for child development in general, but through this program I have also become intrigued by occupational and vision therapies. I am absolutely elated that Great Valley Academy understands that in order to raise brilliant learners, we must first work to develop children. This SRS Program is a great addition to GVA! Not only are children gaining access to more GVS instruction along with reading intervention at an earlier age, but our teachers are receiving more support and guidance than ever before, creating greater opportunities for all of our students within the classroom setting!
I currently work as the SRS coach in the mornings, and then flip to teach a PM kindergarten class. At home I am mom to three amazing kiddos- Ella is 11, Christian is 8 and Avery is 4. I have been married for 12 years and enjoy spending time with my family, being creative in different ways and learning.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I am happy to help!
