About Mrs. Kosh

 
     I graduated from Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, PA with a 4.0 GPA, majoring in elementary education, with a minor in special education. I received the Anita McDonald  Outstanding Continuing Education Student of the Year Award for the graduating class of 2001. I also hold a nursing degree from Montgomery County Community College and worked for nearly 20 years in the community as a hospital and visiting nurse. 
 
      Prior to teaching, I worked in the field of child advocacy and staff development, specializing in children with attention deficit disorders and learning disabilities. I try to be a strong advocate for the educational rights of all children. I am currently working on my Masters Degree in Education with a Focus on Technology in the Classroom from Walden University. I expect to complete that by May 2005. I currently have a 4.0 GPA.

     In April 2004, I was named Keystone Technology Integrator for Wissahickon School District and later named as one of the top 100 Technology Integrators in the State of Pennsylvania. In August of 2004 I represented the district at a state-wide forum in Loretto, PA where the top 100 Technology winners discussed new innovations in technology and ways to implement technology in the classroom. I hope to bring some of those new innovations to WMS this fall. 
 
      I have two children, Brian (age 22) and Tracy (age 30), both schooled in the Wissahickon School District. I have three grandchildren. Olivia is 6 and the twins (Claudia and Christian) are almost two years old. Finally, I have a dauschund named Maggie who is satisfying the "empty nest" syndrome right now.
