Computer Science Teacher / School Counselor
Rexburg, ID
My name is Auri Williard and I have been working at Madison Middle School for 10 years. I was born and raised in SE Idaho, where I met and married my husband. We have made our home here and plan to stay in Idaho forever. I started working for Madison Middle School as a teacher where I helped develop and create the computer science program. I taught for 6 years, and have been the school counselor for the past 4. I love technology and learning all of the new things happening in the tech world. While in the classroom I was able to teach computer science and grew to love the subject due to the love kids had for it. They were driven and motivated, loved learning new things, and were wholeheartedly engaged in their learning. Now that I am in the counseling office, I like hearing from the kids how much they love their computer science classes. I have the opportunity to be part of the committee to help continue to build the curriculum for computer science at our school and love being involved in that way.
