Hi, I'm Tanya Ehlinger and the students call me Ms. Ehl. 

This is my 23^rd year in the fabulous field of education. I've taught grades K-5 and worked as an instructional coach for ten years in my previous school district. This is my seventh year in school district 11 where I work as a gifted resource teacher. I served in the US Army for eight total years and attended college through the University of Washington. I have a Masters of Education, an endorsement in gifted and talented education as well as a few other endorsements. A few years ago I  became a Nationally Board Certified Teacher. This is my 23^rd year in Colorado Springs where I enjoy all things active with my four boys ages, 20, 17, 15 and 13.
