Mrs. Emma Luster

 

 

My name is Emma Luster and I am the Dyslexia Support Teacher at Shepard. I grew up in Tyler, Texas where I enjoyed dance classes, football games, and spending time with family/friends. I graduated from Texas State University with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. Go Bobcats! After graduating I spent a year subbing in the Ft. Worth area until I found my first position teaching 4th grade in Aledo Independent School District.

I spent four years teaching in Aledo when I applied to Plano Independent School District. This is my fifth year teaching at Shepard Elementary. I spent two years teaching 5th grade and 2 years teaching 2nd grade. I have truly found my passion for teaching the Take Flight curriculum and providing intervention to small groups in all grade levels. I love learning with my students and know this year will be no exception.

I have a daughter who is 1. Her name is Collins Elizabeth, and she is the joy of my life. My husband, Eric is my best friend and we enjoy hiking and being outdoors. The ruler of our house is our German Shepard, Murphy. She is our 1st baby and is very spoiled.

Plano I.S.D. Dyslexia Progam

For the students I service, they are given the Core 5 app on their Chromebook, which is a web-based app that is installed for them via their Plano I.S.D.webdesk, as well as Learning Ally, which I add all of my takeflight students to and is accessible either via a website link or I will download it for them on their devices.
