Kōrero EAG - Start Local, Go Global

Tara Goines grew up in Southern California, attending several different elementary schools because of being a foster child. She went on to complete her Bachelor's degree at CSUN majoring in Business Law. Reflecting on her positive influences in school, she decided to get her multiple subject teaching credential and taught grades TK-8 for the next several years in the Antelope Valley. Realizing she had knowledge and experiences to share with her peers, she became a district instructional coach for the Lancaster School District and supported the NGSS Shift, joining LACOE in their rollout. She also supported Math common Core instructional shifts and English Language Development structures and systems. More recently, Tara became an administrator for the Early Childhood Education program in Lancaster and works alongside her Director, Kelly Fountain and Coordinator, Linda Brown. Together they are preparing the way for UTK in their district.
