Blind Teacher Inspires Students, Earns National Certification

Rogers Heights Elementary School prekindergarten teacher Sharon Dudley is inspiring students and staff. Dudley is blind. She teaches reading, writing, letter recognition and more to two classes, a total of 40 students daily.

Principal Barbara Bottoms described her as driven and nurturing. 

“Her story should inspire all to know that there are no excuses; you can do anything that you put your mind to,” Bottoms said. “Being visually-impaired, Sharon has a better connection with our students as they interact with one another through the sense of touch.”
