Dave Goff (3rd grade) is looking forward to meeting and working with the students and parents of Early Light Academy. He has worked with students from kindergarten to high school, but 3rd grade is his favorite. He has a broad background in early childhood education, elementary education, special education, and music, grades K-12. Prior to coming to ELA, Dave served as an elementary music teacher and conducted placement testing for special education at Mountainville Academy in Alpine, Utah. Prior to coming to Utah, he taught special education, gifted and talented education, and general music for Central Consolidated School District in Kirtland, New Mexico. He also taught general music, grades K-6, in Cortez, Colorado.

At Early Light Academy, Dave desires to foster a healthy, safe, individualized learning environment for his students, using the best practices available to further their learning experiences in the coming years.
