Linda Eskridge – Teller Elementary, 1st Grade


2009-2010 Residency
Teaching at Teller Elementary, 1st Grade

I am 54 and recently married. I come from a military family, so growing up we moved around a lot and I went to many different schools. We moved to Colorado in 1972 where I completed high school at William J. Palmer in 1975. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and my Master’s in Corporate & Industrial Communications.

I spent 23 years working in telecommunications in the area of sales, contract administration, and finance. I was an accountant for five years at DPS and decided to make a career change and was a substitute teacher for six months. I’ve also done freelance writing for two local publications, Women’s Edition and the Denver Urban Spectrum.

I come from a big family, love kids, and have always been a mentor throughout my professional career. Although I’ll be the first certified educator in my immediate family, educators come from both sides of my family – on my father’s side there are several retired and active school teachers, and a current elementary school principal; on my mother’s side there are also retired and current teachers, as well as another elementary school principal, and a college professor. Linda completed her residency year training at Gust Elementary.
