About Me

I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education for Elementary/Middle & Adaptive Education. I also hold a Master of Science Degree in Education with Reading Teacher/Specialist Certification. More recently I achieved National Board Certification in Early/Middle Level Literacy. I have been teaching 22 years and have worked with students in Kindergarten through Sixth Grade. I teach all subject areas and am involved with our Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Science Curriculum which is engineering based on STEM practices. I am an avid reader and like reading instruction. My favorite books are the "Harry Potter" and "Percy Jackson" Series. Although, my favorite book is "My Side of the Mountain" written by Jean Craighead George. I also enjoy teaching anything with technology whether it be an iPad, Chromebook, or Windows device. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family playing card or board games, as well as video games. My favorites are sports-based, such as Madden Football, as well as many Wii Games. I also enjoy spending time outdoors fishing, hunting, biking, or playing yard games.

Q&A with Ken

As stated in my personal statement, I believe that all students can learn. We merely need to find the best way for a student to learn based upon both their strengths and weaknesses. In addition, however, we must also help students develop the skills and desire to teach themselves to be self sufficient.
