Meet Mrs. Brandon
Greetings LWE Families! I am excited to work with your children as the Lake Windward Elementary Media and Technology Instructor (METI). I am a career educator with twenty-five years’ experience teaching in the elementary and middle school levels, serving as an Instructional Technology Specialist and leading as a school administrator.
As far as my educational background, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, a Masters of Education in Educational Leadership and an Educational Specialist degree in Instructional Technology. I also earned my National Board Certification in 2001.
My core educational beliefs include creating a supportive and collaborative learning environment with a blend of digital, hands-on and real-world learning experiences, while continuously extending my own learning to best serve our school community.
I live in the Johns Creek area with my husband and I have two college aged sons. I’m always happy to give high fives when I see students out in the community and I look forward to working with everyone this year in the Lake Windward Elementary Media Center!

Meet Mrs. Pratap
I will be working alongside Mrs. Brandon as the school's new media paraprofessional. This is my first year working at Lake Windward Elementary, and I am very excited to meet everyone! I am a North Carolina Teaching Fellow and love my home state. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a degree in middle school education. During that time, I became licensed to teach both middle school math and language arts. I spent the last four years teaching language arts in North Carolina before moving to Georgia for my husband's work.
My educational philosophy includes the importance of creating a safe space where students can feel free to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from their errors.
I have a passion for reading, and love getting suggestions from students on what I should read next. In return, I am always glad to recommend a new book for someone else to enjoy!
