Gifted Education
Welcome to Gifted Education at RRD with Ms. Hedges! I am excited to be your Gifted Resource Teacher this year. Before moving to Loudoun County in 2022, I was a 4th grade teacher in my home state of Maryland for 3 years. I also taught ESL in Spain and China after graduating from University of Maryland in 2015. In Spring of 2025, I received my master's degree from George Mason University in Curriculum and Instruction with a Gifted Education Endorsement. Please reach out to me at ana.hedges@lcps.org with any questions about the Gifted Program at RRD. I can't wait to learn with you all this year!
