Kim Scheidt
First Grade Teacher
This is Kim’s 11th year teaching at GSLS. Eight of those years were in 5th grade, and two years ago she traded cursive for printing and moved to 1st grade. It has been a fun and wondrous change, and she is enjoying it thoroughly. Her teaching philosophy is that all children learn differently, and all learning styles need to be addressed in our classrooms through diverse and stimulating lessons. Her goal is to build a community of learners by having high expectations for each student's success, and to teach children to become lifelong learners by engaging them in the learning process by offering choices, and high-interest lessons. She is a lifelong learner, and received her teaching credential and Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction at Dominican University. She is presently working towards an Educational Therapy Certificate by taking classes through the UC Berkeley Extension. Her experiences teaching and the classes she has taken have helped her address and teach to the vast variety of learning styles teachers encounter in their classrooms.
She has been married for 28 years, and has twin daughters in college. In her spare time she enjoys appreciating nature, especially hiking. She and her husband have spent the last several years hiking the 163 mile Tahoe Rim Trail, and have finally finished!
