PCS Central Interventionist
At PROVIDENT CHARTER SCHOOLS (PCS), charter schools are known for their warm and caring learning environment. To get to know more about the people behind our school culture, we recently chatted with PCS Central Interventionist Brittain Flatt.
Here’s what she had to say!
What inspired you to become an educator?
Driven by a genuine passion for children, I pursued a career in education to become a positive influence in their lives, fostering growth and empowering them to reach their full potential.
Who was your favorite teacher and why?
My most cherished teacher, Mrs. Weyant, my first-grade educator, stands out for her extraordinary patience, caring nature, and joyful spirit. Early in the year, when my mother gave birth to my sister, I struggled with separation anxiety, fearing I was missing out on special moments at home. Mrs. Weyant’s understanding and compassion were remarkable; she allowed me to call my mom every day before lunch for about a week, providing the reassurance I needed. Her kindness created a safe and supportive environment, leaving a lasting impression on me.
How does the PCS mission and vision align with your personal values?
PCS’s mission to empower children with dyslexia and language-based learning differences through multisensory instruction and individualized plans deeply resonates with my personal values. I believe every child deserves access to a high-quality education tailored to their unique needs, and I’m committed to fostering their potential in a supportive and inclusive environment.
What do you love most about your role?
I deeply value my role as an Interventionist because it allows me to work closely with small groups and enables me to truly understand their individual learning styles and needs in reading and math. This personalized approach allows for targeted support and celebrates each student’s unique progress.
What was your favorite book when you were young?
As a child, I was captivated by the Babysitters Club series, drawn to its relatable characters and heartwarming stories of friendship and growing up.
Tell us a little about your life outside of PCS!
I’m a dedicated mother of two daughters, a passionate entrepreneur who has run my own photography business for 11 years, and a weekend event coordinator at a wedding venue where I am able to meet a lot of people. I cherish opportunities to travel and immerse myself in the beauty of the outdoors. My favorite place to go is the beach.
