All About Me

My name is Ashley Hodges and I am a wife, mom of 3 boys, a teacher, and Owner of Learning and Beyond.  I started teaching in the fall of 2009.

​Since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. My mom, grandmother, and aunts were teachers. I never really considered any other career path because my passion was teaching.  In 4th grade I was diagnosed with Dyslexia. My parents played a big role in my success. They educated themselves on Dyslexia and empowered me to be successful. It wasn't always easy, but I learned and grew from my struggles.  This diagnosis fueled my passion and desire to teach. I want to help others the same way my parents and many teachers helped me.

​After high school I went on to college and graduated from Athens State University in December of 2008. I worked as a substitute in several surrounding school systems until I was hired by Madison City Schools in the Fall of 2009.  I spent 12 years living and teaching in Madison City. When given the oppertunity to move back home my husband and I jumped at the chance. We are both products of Hartselle City Schools and are thrilled to be back and watch our boys grow and thrive here. 

I believe that having Dyslexia has made me a better educator!
