Hi! My name is Dr. Francine Swickheimer. I earned my Associates Degree in Education at Florida Southwestern State College, my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education at the University of South Florida, and both my Masters and Doctorate Degree in Reading and Literacy at Capella University. I have been an educator for 28 years working with students in grades kindergarten through twelfth grade.
I have been honored as a Florida Regional Reading Teacher of the Year, Lee County Teacher of the Year Finalist, and both a Golden Apple Teacher of the Year Finalist and Teacher of Distinction. I have worked directly with students as a classroom teacher, as well as a specialist who provided coaching and modeling of lessons for teachers. I have served in several roles at the district level including a Director of Literacy and Managing Director of Academics for a charter system. During my years in education, I have developed and/or provided professional development for educators at school, district and national level. I am currently working as an educational consultant providing coaching and consulting across the country.
