Stephany Anderson taught Language Arts and Social Studies in Cody for 23 years before becoming the district’s Secondary Literacy Coach. In 2010 she earned her National Board Certification and began coaching candidates pursuing certification. This mentoring experience led her to pursue a Master's Certificate in Literacy through UW. A Doctorate in Education culminating with a dissertation on viewing as a literacy strategy in Social Studies was a natural next step. Soon after achieving that degree in 2019, she began sharing her secondary literacy experience at conferences across the state and became an adjunct instructor of graduate students studying curriculum and instruction at Grand Canyon University. She received an Arch Coal Teacher Award in 2012, was a Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms Fellow in 2014, and the 2021 Gilder Lehrman Wyoming History Teacher of the Year.
