About Mrs. Truette
I'm Barbara Truette and I have one of the best jobs in Charlotte-Mecklenberg Schools, as the Literacy Facilitator for Palisades Park. As Literacy Facilitator, I not only get to support our fabulous teachers, I also get to help our students in Kindergarten - 5th Grade build a lifelong love for reading and writing.
My own personal love a reading began as a child, when I read the Little House on the Prairie series with my mom. I also had so many teachers in elementary, middle, and high school that made reading fun. I graduated from Western Carolina University with a BS in Communications. I followed that with a Post-Baccalaureate certification in Elementary Education at UNC Charlotte. I taught both 3rd and 4th grade for many years before becoming a Facilitator.
Outside of school, I have a beautiful family with my husband Erik, my son Andy, and our daughter, Katie. We are huge Carolina Panther's Fans.
