Welcome to Ms. Clawson’s Learning Community!

Tempus fugit - time flies - as Virgil famously said!  I have been an educator for more than 25 years.  It is my 16th year at FSUS and I have been grateful for each minute!  I am happy when I get the occasion to teach students again in other courses, a younger sibling, or other relatives of a previous student and get to work with their families again!  I always say, “Once you are a member of the family, you remain so forever.”  It is also wonderful to get to know and work with new students and parents!  Teaching students and working with their fantastic families are my favorite parts of my profession.  

 I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and my Master’s degree in Reading/Language Arts K-12 from FSU.  I have certifications in Middle Grades English, Reading K-12, Elementary Education, and ESOL K-12.  While at FSUS, I have been honored to teach Intensive Reading, English/Language Arts, Digital Skills/Research, Speech/Debate, Creative Writing, and Virtual Lab.  

 I am delighted to have the opportunity to be partners in education with you this year!
