Katie
Hello! My name is Katie and I am a homeschooling parent to two daughters, ages 5 and 8, with twelve years teaching experience. Before being a stay-at-home mom and homeschooling, I was a full time teacher in first and fourth grade. I have my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, my Masters of Education, and my Specialist Instruction Credential in reading.
From a young age I knew I wanted to be a teacher, and I have always loved working with my students. Having decided to homeschool has helped me to broaden my scope of education and the great variety of resources available to families to support the learning process. I would describe myself as dedicated, warm, and encouraging. My instructional approach is student-centered, and I aim to engage students in their learning in a positive and meaningful way. I believe quality children's literature lays the foundation for learning, and I value the opportunity to help students develop into confident readers who learn to love to read! I look forward to getting to know your child and family.
