Retired NCPS Teacher Launches ‘LB Education & Life Coaching’
|
The idea for a business that helped kids solve problems came to LB Reddington five years ago. A teacher in New Canaan Public Schools for nearly three decades before retiring last year, Reddington had spent most of her career as a fifth-grade science teacher at Saxe Middle School, also teaching third- and-fourth graders at West School, and sixth-graders at Saxe. During that time, Reddington took professional and personal pride in helping kids solve problems, far beyond just content delivery. “Their management and their organization, and trying to draw their strengths out—you’re working in so many different supports for the kids,” Reddington said during an interview at New Canaan Library on a recent morning. “I enjoy bringing pieces together and solving problems and seeing that growth and success.”
Seeking to use what she gleaned in her 28-year career, Reddington last year launched LB Education & Life Coaching.
