Ashley Pursley

Berkeley County
Middle school teacher
Sedgefield Middle

I teach ELA and English I courses to 8th graders in Goose Creek, SC. My top priority as a teacher is student, parent, staff, and community relationships because teaching is NOT a one-man-show. I use technology in the classroom to create opportunities and experiences for my learners. I also spent last summer attending Lowcountry Writing Project and would highly recommend the Writing Project to anyone looking for a life-changing experience.
