About Our Teachers
Mrs. Oseland
Hello! My name Is Emma Oseland and I teach 5-8 Reading intervention. I grew up in Stillwater, MN. I received my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education in 2012 from Gustavus Adolphus College and my masters in K-12 Literacy Instruction from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota in 2020. After graduating from Gustavus I taught Kindergarten at Prairie Elementary for 7 years, 2nd Grade in Sibley, Iowa one year and 5-8 Reading intervention in Sibley before returning to ISD 518 in the fall of 2023. My work with my masters classes and teaching reading intervention in Sibley helped me to find my passion in teaching literacy skills and helping students make meaning to what they are learning in all disciplines. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my daughters, being outdoors, reading books, and cooking. Please reach out with any questions. I look forward to workings with students at WMS!
Ms. Smith
My name is Michelle Smith and I am originally from George, IA. I received my BA from the University of Northern Iowa and my MA from Morningside College. I have taught at Ruthven-Ayrshire, Spirit Lake, and Spencer Community Schools before coming to Worthington in 2024. I have 4 children so I spend a lot of time at their activities. We love watching a lot of sports! We also have a mini Goldendoodle named Annie. In my free time I love to read, go for walks, and relax in our backyard with my fiancé.
Mrs. Stofferan
My name is Mrs. Stofferan. I have a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Elementary Education, with a concentration in middle school math. I also have a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. I was a middle school math teacher before becoming an Interventionist. I have taught in grades 5-8. A fun fact about me is that I attended school in Worthington from Kindergarten to Grade 12. I enjoyed growing up in the district so much that I decided I wanted to teach here.
