Jordan Haley

Jordan Haley was born and raised just north of Nashville in Cross Plains, TN. She attended the University of Tennessee Knoxville (Go Vols!) where she received her bachelor's and master's degrees in Early Childhood Education with a focus on Pre K-3rd grade. After graduation, she returned to the Middle Tennessee area and has taught Kindergarten in MNPS for the past 3 years. Mrs. Haley is so excited to be teaching first grade this year and to get to know all of the amazing teachers, families, and students of Julia Green. She believes that forming relationships with each child is the basis of helping students learn and that without the foundation of a respectful classroom culture it is hard for true intentional learning to take place. Her goal is to encourage the students to become eager lifelong learners as well as respectful members of society. When Mrs. Haley is not in the classroom she loves traveling, hiking, cooking, trying out fun new restaurants with friends, cheering on the Vols, and spending time with her husband and pup!
