S. Ripka Instructional Coach

Hi!  My name is Steph Ripka.  I am the Instructional Coach for Penns Valley Jr/Sr High and teach the Junior High Media Class for grades 7- 8 at the Penns Valley Area High School.  Originally, from out of state, I earned my BS in Art Education from the Pennsylvania State University.  As you can see, I stayed in the area and live in the Penns Valley Area with my husband and two children.  My favorite part of teaching at Penns Valley is that after teaching art for many, many years, I now get to support teachers with their teaching needs as an Instructional Coach.  My instructional coaching position still has me in the classroom, designing impactful lessons for our students enrolled in Junior High Media Class.
