About Me

My name is Kelly, and I am in my third year of teaching. I currently teach kindergarten through fourth grade special education and have previously taught kindergarten as well. I love working with students and helping each child reach their full potential. I believe that each student is capable of learning and strive to instill a love of learning in all of my students. In my classroom, student growth is celebrated and each student receives individualized instruction in order to successfully master skills. I consistently utilize researched based instructional practices to ensure that students receive the most effective education possible. I have experience teaching kindergarten through fourth grade in a variety of settings. I taught in an urban school setting my first year and am currently in a rural school setting. I also completed my student teaching on the Navajo reservation, working primarily with students who were English language learners. I had the opportunity to spend the summer of 2015 in China, teaching students English through an intensive learning camp. Throughout college I also volunteered at Girls, Inc. in their homework help room. My love of teaching started in high school when I was a peer tutor for the essential skills classroom. Currently, I teach special education and have experience with a various types of learners.

Q&A with Kelly

I believe that each student is capable of learning, but that all students learn in different ways. Because of this, I believe that students learn best when instruction can be individualized to their unique learning style. I also believe that learning should be hands on, if possible, and that students learn best when they can apply concepts to real life situations. Students learn best when they find topics interesting, and I work to include student interests in my lessons as much as possible. Finding ways to make learning interesting helps students stay engaged and commit lessons to memory, and also makes the learning experience better for both the student and the teacher.
