About Deanna Johnston
Hi and welcome to my "About Deanna Johnston" page!
WHY I LOVE BEING A TEACHER:
I love helping students develop a love of learning and discovering their unique gifts! Knowing that every student does not learn in the same way, my passion is helping students discover the learning styles that work the best for them and implementing strategies to help them attain success in education and in life!
