Coyote Creek Elementary
COLLABORATING TO INSPIRE ACHIEVEMENT
Academic Intervention Team
Jennifer Goodman: RTI
My name is Jennifer Goodman and I am the Response to Intervention teacher at Coyote Creek. I grew up here in Littleton, Colorado and graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in 1994. I went back to get my Master's of Education with an emphasis in Instruction and Curriculum in 1998. I was lucky enough to get a first grade position here at CCE, many, many years ago. I quickly moved into a kindergarten position, which I taught for over 20 years. I shifted into the Interventionist role 5 years ago.
I have three kids, Tommi (27), Reid (25) and Jared (22). When I am not working, I enjoy playing soccer on a few "old lady" teams, hanging out with my kids and husband, playing with my three dogs, reading and running.
Lori Bowen: RTI
Hi Coyote Creek Family! I am Lori Bowen and I am so excited to be working with the RTI Interventionist team this year. I was raised in Cody, Wyoming. After graduating High School I moved to Austin, Texas to attend the University of Texas. I stayed in Austin and taught 1st grade for three years. In 2001, I moved to Denver to open Eldorado Elementary. I taught 1st and 2nd grades for 21 years at Eldorado. After teaching in the classroom for 24 years, I am excited to be pulling groups of all ages now. I love working with small groups to watch them grow and develop in reading and math.
When I am not teaching you will find me spending time with friends or my family. I have been married for 20 years and we have two boys. Jake is 17 years old and a senior at Chatfield, and Carter is a 16-year-old sophomore at Chatfield. I am often driving Carter around town to different golf tournaments or helping Jake prepare for DECA and FBLA activities. We have two dogs that love to take as many walks as we can give. As a family, we enjoy hiking, traveling, reading, and attempting pickleball. In the fall I love watching football and cheering for my Texas Longhorns.
Keiko Short: RTI
Hello! I am so excited to be starting my fifth year at Coyote Creek. This will be my 19th year of teaching. I have taught in grades first through fifth and I have been a reading specialist at an independent school in Massachusetts. I am so grateful to be working on the RTI team with such amazing teachers. I love working with small groups of students for reading and math support to help build their self confidence, as well as to help develop their love for learning.
When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my family and friends. My husband and I have twin daughters who just graduated from college and a son who will be a Freshman at Rock Canyon High School. I also have four furry friends, 2 dogs and 2 cats! I love running, traveling, cooking, and reading. I have loved living in beautiful Colorado for the past nine years, and I am grateful for the amazing community I have found at CCE!
