About the Teacher:
Hi Jags! My name is Allison Burket and I am a special education teacher here at BCHS. I have over 15 years in education. I am a full time single mom of two kids and we are so grateful to be a part of such a warm and connected community in Anthem!
I have my Bachelors in Human Development and Family Studies and got my career start in foster care and social work. I hold my Masters in Special Education K-12, Masters in Elementary Education K-8, as well as my Masters in Early Childhood Special Education. I am endorsed in ELL and ELA and love to read and write myself. I am a published Christian writer, and also write a Christian devotional blog. Teaching ELA is truly a passion of mine! I believe in the power of words in us, in the novels and stories we read, and the power of sharing our stories with one another!
I also have a passion for dance. I danced professionally for the NBA , AFL and collegiate level and have also coached and choreographed for collegiate and high school teams. When not teaching, you will find me line dancing, spending time with family and friends, going to my kids sports and doing mom life, working out with my peloton workouts and staying active, listening to country music, and cheering on the Minnesota Vikings! Skol!
I am honored to be a part of each and every one of my student's journeys this year and be a BCHS Jag!
The best way to get a hold of me is through email.
