“Hello! I’m Cindy Stroud, and I am a fourth grade teacher at Compass
Public Charter School. I love teaching using the Harbor Method, and look
forward to coming to work each day. My background includes being a stay
at home mom, running a small business from home, and later, writing for
a newspaper. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications/Journalism
from Southern Oregon University. I later completed a teacher
credentialing program on the Central Coast of California and taught
Remedial Reading to primary students. I fell in love with teaching and
later moved to Idaho in 2001 with my husband, Alan and daughter, Amy.
