The position has now been renamed Curriculum Support Teacher (CST) and her duties are determined by the needs of the school, the students and the parents.

Ms. Stein has been at Lake Windward for the past 11 years. During her 26 years in Fulton County, she has written curriculum, taught staff development courses, served on the Language Arts and Social Studies textbook adoption committee, been a mentor to new teachers, been trained in TESA (Teacher Expectation Student Achievement), received her TSS (Teacher Support Specialist) certification and has provided workshops for teachers and parents throughout Fulton County.
