About Ms. Welker
Welcome to my website. I absolutely LOVE teaching, and I could not have imagined 17 better years. This is my fourth year at Durant and I could not be more excited to be here!
I graduated from UNCG with a BA in Elementary Education and concentration in Psychology. I taught in Guilford County for 8 years before coming to Wake County 9 years ago.
I grew up in Raleigh and graduated from Broughton High School. My family and I moved back to be closer to my family. I have two children that attend Durant Kenzie Grace is in 8th grade and Tatum is in 5th. we are part of a blended family. Jeff works for Metlife and we planned to get married in April. Our wedding was delayed due to Covid. Jeff has three children. I also love pets! Our family has a goldendoodle, Harley and maltipoo Bailey.
I am very passionate early intervention and literacy skills. And love teaching children to read! I was part of the Governor's Teacher Network in 2014 and created action based research on high frequency words with kindergarten students.
