About Mrs. Elam
My name is Brandie Elam. I am so excited to be teaching Kindergarten again at Compass! This is my second year at Compass but my 23rd year teaching. I taught Kindergarten and 3rd grade the first half of my career. Then, I started teaching Special Education classes mainly at the middle school level for 10 years.
I moved to Odessa two years ago from Big Lake, TX (I taught there 20 years). While growing up, my family moved a lot. In 2003, I graduated from Angelo State University. I am certified in EC-8th general education with a specialization in Reading and Math, ESL, and Special Education.
My husband and I have been married for two years. Together we have 10 wonderful children, and we recently became grandparents to a precious, perfect baby girl last summer. Our kids keep us busy with their activities, and there's never a dull (or quiet) moment!
Favorites
Drink: Diet Dr Pepper, Coconut Tea (HTeaO), coffee, Starbucks
