About Stephanie

Hi, I am Stephanie M. Johnson from Sumter, SC.  I now call Columbia, South Carolina home. I am a reading interventionist, consultant, and organizer with a passion for helping educators, students, parents, and communities. I am certified in elementary education and hold a National Board certification in Early/Middle Childhood Literacy.

I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor’s in English and a Master’s in Teaching. I later earned a second Master’s in Executive Leadership from Gardner-Webb University.

I enjoy being an educator because it encompasses the things I truly enjoy-working with educators, students, parents, and communities.  My heart is in educational leadership and policy.

The name The Southern Educator reflects my deep roots in southern values and the experiences that shape my approach to education.

If there is anything I can do to help, please do not hesitate to get in touch. I hope you enjoy the website, and feel free to reach out anytime!
