Hi, my name is Carrie Swanson, and I am a 3rd grade teacher.  I have been teaching in Aurora Public Schools for 11 years.  Before coming to Edna and John W. Mosley P-8, I was a Teaching Partner and I’ve taught kindergarten through 3rd grade.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs, staying active and completing DIY projects.  The thing I am most excited about for the school year is getting to know my new students and watching them grow!  My job is to accelerate learning for every APS student, every day.  I do my job by building relationships with my students and their families, planning and teaching engaging, standards-based lessons and I use data and research based practices to increase student achievement. My community needs me to do my job.
