I’m Michele Comfort, or Ms. C, the new Gifted & Talented Itinerant at Inspire. With lots of experience working with accelerated learners, I bring a deep understanding of how to engage and challenge our gifted students. I am excited to work alongside Inspire Teachers to deliver exceptional and enriching content for our gifted students. After joining DPS in 2015, I took a brief hiatus to explore the tech world as a software developer. During that time, I was intrigued by how problem-solving in coding parallels the cognitive processes of many gifted learners. My passion for education eventually brought me back, eager to integrate these insights and enhance the learning experiences for our students. Holding a Master’s in Educational Psychology, I am fascinated by the science of learning and the complexities of the human brain. My partner Trent and I have called Colorado home since 2010 and recently spent a year working remotely in southern California. Since returning to Colorado with renewed energy and purpose, I am beyond excited for this next chapter!
