Hello, my name is Sandy Derrick. I have been in education for over 35 years. I am a Francis Marion University graduate. I am certified in early childhood and elementary education. My Master's degree is in Elementary Education. I have taught in many different schools in Florence School District One. My experience includes teaching kindergarten through fifth grade. I have had the pleasure of teaching at Briggs for 24 years. In 1992 I received my Reading Recovery Training from Clemson University. I truly love teaching students the skills and strategies they need to become fluent independent readers and writers.
