My name is Amanda Dean Jenkins and I have been teaching since 1996. I absolutely LOVE teaching!!  My personal philosophy of teaching is that my role as an educator is to discover and cultivate the unique gifts of every child!  My goal as an educator is to create a loving, nurturing, and positive learning environment so that every child may soar to their potential while developing a life-long love of learning!  I feel so blessed to be a part of the CFES family.  Colham Ferry is such a special place to teach and the opportunity to work with students each day is amazing!! 

I have a B.S. Education degree from UGA in Dance Education. I also obtained an M.Ed. degree from Piedmont College in Early Childhood Education with a Gifted Endorsement and an Ed.S. degree from Piedmont College in Curriculum and Instruction.
