You will find resources for curriculum and instruction, including integrating technology into the classroom. These will help students develop content knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will enable them to reach their maximum potential as responsible, productive citizens and life-long learners.

Mrs. Strenk has been involved in education for the last 18 years with experiences with students from preschool through freshman in college. Her first teaching assignment was in Independence where she taught 5th grade and coached basketball and fast-pitch softball. During this time she also developed programs for Marycrest School and had the opportunity to work toward a certificate in all teaching fields, administration, and guidance.
Family then became the main focus and Mrs. Strenk, her husband, and three children found their way to Shalersville, a community hand-picked for its school district. She began volunteering at the local elementary school and became the coordinator for Ohio Reads. During this time she also began her master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on technology. In addition, she had the opportunity to enhance her technology skills through research in the AT&T classroom at Kent State University.
Mrs. Strenk most recently taught 7th grade math at Crestwood Middle School before a curriculum opportunity led her to the Portage County Educational Service Center. In this position she provides curriculum support to the districts in Portage County. This year her assignment has led her back to Crestwood Schools where she is serving as the Director of Curriculum. Mrs. Strenk looks forward to working with the staff, students, and parents in this district.
