My name is Robert Collum, and I am the 7th-grade Multi-Categorical Teacher (Integrated Services) at Boltz Middle School. This is my fifth year at Boltz. I have also served as an assistant coach for the Football, Wrestling, and Track teams.
I have called Fort Collins home since I was six years old, attending Shepardson Elementary, Lesher Middle School, and Poudre High School. I later earned my associate degree from Front Range Community College, my bachelor's degree from Colorado State University, and my master's degree in Special Education from the University of Northern Colorado.
Outside of Boltz, I enjoy spending time with my wife and family, attempting extravagant meals in the kitchen, and taking long walks with my two giant dogs.

You will most likely find me in general education classes, learning alongside and supporting the students on my caseload and in our IS department.

Purpose: To develop an educational partnership between home, school, and the community that seeks to ensure a quality education for students with disabilities to become productive, contributing members of society.
Goals:
● Serving students based on needs in a collaborative environment.

Students Services:
Services vary based on the individual needs of each student identified and are determined through an IEP team meeting with all required members present. Services are specially designed to meet student needs and for student progress, with accelerated growth, in academics, social, emotional, behavioral, and functional skills.
