My name is Sarah Ansari, and I am very excited to be starting a new year as the English Language Development (ELD) Specialist at Dougherty Elementary School, and joining the secondary teams once per week! This is my sixth year in the Dublin Unified School District, and I have previously worked as an ELD Specialist at Green, Amador, and Dublin Elementary Schools . I have taught in Alameda Unified School District, Mountain View-Whisman School District, La Honda-Pescadero Unified School District, Pajaro Valley Unified School District, and in Colorado.  In addition to teaching ELD, I have taught Kindergarten, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, Elementary School Reading Intervention, and ESL at a Community College. I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to continue working with the students, staff and families at Dougherty Elementary School, and join the secondary teams!
