media type="custom" key="27501568"

= **My name is Lisa Menges and I welcome you to take a look around my wikispace. I began my first teaching position as a social studies teacher at Dover Area High School in 1997. I taught ninth grade American History and tenth grade World History, as well as an elective, Sports Psychology, which was primarily chosen by students during their senior year. I am grateful for my time spent at Dover where the staff was helpful and supportive as I gained valuable experience as a new teacher in a block schedule.** =

= **Currently, I am in my ninth year of employment with the Lincoln Intermediate Unit, located in New Oxford, Pennsylvania.** LIU #12 is an educational service agency acting as an intermediary between the Pennsylvania Department of Education and local school districts. Partnering with local school districts within York, Adams, and Franklin counties, LIU #12 provides professional development opportunities tailored to district needs, among many other services. **My work with LIU #12 has allowed me to gain extensive experience facilitating professional development and as a reading specialist in a variety of settings. Each day at the IU is different from the day before! My responsibilities include a wide range of educational topics from consultation and delivery of professional development for teachers and administrators to on-site instruction as a reading specialist in area nonpublic schools.** =
