With over thirteen years teaching experience, Dr. Rogers brings applicable hands-on experiences to share with her classes.  Amy taught social studies education in the East Lycoming School District in both middle and secondary classrooms.  She incorporated reading and writing into her passion for the study of history by implementing a literature based approach to teaching social studies.  After eleven years in the classroom, Amy became a Literacy Coach for the ELSD, a position that allowed her to coach content area teachers and students on reading and writing strategies.  Amy continues to work with area school districts through the teacher placement program at Lycoming.  Dr. Rogers is a proud member of Lycoming’s Education Department and loves assisting in shaping competent, caring, and ethical educators.
