My name is Lauren Dotson. I am the Speech and Theater teacher at Smithton Middle School. I enjoy working with children and helping them reach for the stars both on stage and in the classroom. I believe every child should be valued and treated with respect. An educator should empower a child and help him or her make a positive contribution to our world.
I am a native of Columbia. In 2000 I graduated from Hickman High School. Go Kewpies! I attended Missouri State University in Springfield, MO. In 2005 I graduated from there with a B.S. in Speech and Theatre Education. I have my Masters in Curriculum Instruction with an emphasis on Educational Technology. I hope to spread my joy of Speech and Theatre to each student who walks through my door.
I look forward to getting to know all of you this school year!
