Hello! My name is Kaitlin Hargrave. I have over twenty years of educational & childhood developmental experience. I have always lived in Western New York. I got married to my husband in 2018, and we are dog parents to two Jack Russell-Pugs: Thor and Loki. (pictured in my classroom above) Our son Joey was born in December, and we are having a wild time as new parents!
Throughout my life I have always been drawn towards education and leading children through babysitting, summer camp, daycare, counseling, and mentoring. I am a graduate of Medaille College, earning my Masters of Science in Elementary Education, with certifications to teach children from birth to grade 6, as well as students with disabilities. I am currently completing my certification in Educational Leadership for School Building & School District Administration. During my time as a professional educator, I have had the privilege of presenting at multiple conferences on topics involving educational technology, and the most effective ways to use educational technology to help our children be successful. As a current Elementary teacher, I strongly believe in extending education beyond the classroom. I have been privately tutoring and advising parents on educational decisions, for five years; and I find the most rewarding part of this position is helping parents to guide their children in achieving their goals! It is critical in today's education that students are able to gain and retain the vigorous standards for learning required in today's society, as well as parents having the knowledge and information to be able to advocate for their child's needs. This website is a tool for parents & educators to bring teaching/learning into the inevitable future, so our children will be ready! |
