  • Hi!  My name is Sherrie Koerner.  This is my 21st year in education.  I taught 13 years at Forney ISD and this is my 8th year here at Sunnyvale.  

    I graduated from Dallas Baptist University with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, with a specialization in reading and an early childhood endorsement. I earned my Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a principal certification from Texas A&M University of Commerce. I have been trained in the MTA Program and have an English as a Second Language certification (EC-12) and SPED certification (EC-12). 

    I have always loved teaching and knew it was my calling when I was a senior in high school. It's always a thrilling experience to teach students and instill in them the love of learning.  I feel very blessed to get to carry that out on a daily basis here at Sunnyvale.  

    Please feel free to contact me with any questions throughout the year.  I am happy to help!

     

    Welcome!! 
    I will be updating this page with helpful links throughout the year. On the tabs to the left you will find several helpful resources regarding the ESL program and dyslexia.  Please feel free to email me with any questions.  I am here to help!  I hope you have a wonderful school year!!
