Marsha Rideout
Associate Director
As the Associate Director for Six Seconds, Marsha provides coaching and support to practitioners and clients to sustain growth and build skills.
Marsha has taught for many years in elementary and middle schools and raised two sons. Before joining Six Seconds, she facilitated Self-Science, a curriculum for emotional literacy, at The Nueva School. Marsha earned her BA in English and Art, magma cum laude, from Whitworth College and her Life Credential in Elementary Education from San Jose State University. Her focus of affective education set the tone in her kindergarten through third grade classrooms where curriculum was integrated and risk-taking, creativity, and accountability were modeled and encouraged.
Leaving a legacy of narrative assessment in primary grade throughout the district, Marsha then stayed home for several years to raise two boys. She devoted her spare time dedicated to substitute teaching and volunteering at local schools and building emotional intelligence.
