During her first teaching assignment Amanda Kreiger realized that a career in education was the right path for her. 

“I enjoyed interacting with students and hearing their thoughts and ideas. I watched students have that “ah ha” moment during class discussions, and I was hooked,” she said.

Kreiger joined the Poudre School District team in July as the new director of the Curriculum and Instruction Department. In her role, she hopes to blend her love of learning into her work and foster an environment where all perspectives are welcome.
