Joanie Oliphant

Since beginning work with EESLPD as a partner in 2013, I have been proud to provide support on the journey of reflection and professional growth for the teachers I have served. I joined as full-time staff in 2016, and each program year has been filled with many successes as our teachers participate in the NC Teacher Evaluation Process and improve their strategies in preparing students for success in the 21st century. My exciting career as an early childhood educator has taken me from classrooms to administration to a children’s museum to product development of classroom materials. My passion for young children and families has always been at the center of my work, and with EESLPD, there is joy in every day – collaborating with a team of mentors and evaluators who truly care about every teacher we serve. We each share the same goal – to provide support to teachers as they become the best they can be, in order to increase learning outcomes for children.
