About Me
ABOUT MS. Bailey
I spent several years working in Biotechnology Innovation before discovering my bigger purpose in education. I spent a few years teaching Mathematics & Science to high school students here in Springfield and now I look forward to working with middle school students at chestnut TAG. I hope to develop strong independent learners, while keeping the class engaging and challenging.
