Hello, my name is Reba Dresen, and I am the 5th grade teacher, elementary quiz bowl coach, and head volleyball coach here at Diller-Odell Schools. I am very excited to get this year started. But first, I would like to share a little bit about myself with you!

I grew up in Sterling, Nebraska, a small rural southeast Nebraska town. I grew up on a farm and am still very involved in it. I have been in the Diller Odell School district for 8 years now. I graduated with honors from Doane College and continued my education by completing my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in reading intervention.  

My hope is to create a classroom community and team dynamic where all students and athletes feel safe and valued. I believe it is within this kind of environment that kids can be successful. To further ensure each child’s success, I will use a variety of teaching/coaching strategies to meet individual needs. Every student and athlete I work with is important to me. I am excited to have my students actively involved in their learning and see what discoveries we can make together.
