Introduction
Hello, my name is Ms. King and I am a 1st Grade Teacher at Clara Hall. I teach all subjects from Language Arts, Mathematics, to Science and Social Studies. During the 2004-05 school session, I was chosen as "Teacher of the Year." I was also selected as "Teacher of the Week" by the KNOE/FOX Network.
Teaching Philosphy
My teaching philosophy centers around the idea that all children can learn. I believe that with the help from teachers, parents, and students that each learner can reach their highest potential. Children learn differently, therefore they should be taught to fit their individual learning styles.
Goal in the Classroom
* Provide a safe atmosphere conducive to learning.
* Provide students with the attention needed to reach their goals.
* Make learning interesting.
Classroom Expectations
* Follow directions Quickly
* Raise your hand for Permission to Speak

Data Collection
Students will be assess weekly on material that was taught throughout the week. Students must pass ELA(English Language Arts AND MATH with a 75/C or higher to be promoted to the next grade. It is very important for you to work with your child at home reinforcing the skills I teach.

In Closing...
As a teacher, I will assess my students to track their development and growth within my classroom. However, just because I am the educator does not mean that I am above being assessed myself. I have to keep track of my own development and progression in reaching the children in my class. Even though I have a teaching certificate and a degree in my hand, I will be active in my own continuing education in the latest education practices and developmental findings, as I want my students to be active learners in my classroom. Education truly is the key to success.
