Valerie Miller has 16 years of experience in education. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Ball State University, a Master’s Degree from Walden University in Curriculum and Instruction and has completed the Education Administration Licensure Program from Indiana Wesleyan University.  She began her journey as an educator in 2003, as a third grade classroom teacher for Indianapolis Public Schools. After spending five years as a classroom teacher, Mrs. Miller accepted a position as a Reading First Coach; it was during this time that she discovered her joy for designing small group interventions and helping classroom teachers discover new strategies to use with their students.  These new discoveries led her to Monument Lighthouse Charter School where she was the Title 1 Coordinator for 5 years. She also served as the Director of Student Services for MLCS. She enjoys working with students, parents and teachers to develop academic and behavior plans to help scholars become successful and looks forward to developing relationships with scholars and parents and helping them achieve the goal of higher education.
