Karen Twitty

Karen Twitty teaches 5th Grade at Brittin Elementary School, Fort Stewart, Georgia. She holds a Master of Science in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Kansas. Karen believes that schools and communities must work together to extend the boundaries of the traditional classroom and provide more meaningful life and learning experiences. "She contributes to the entire school and military community through her extensive work in the Family Support Program, especially important during the school's near total deployment of sponsors to Iraq during the war. Karen Twitty is an excellent example of all things that are right with American education today," states her principal.
