I'm a middle school math teacher and 21st Century After School tutoring coordinator.
Why did you choose HCS?
I chose HCS because of the immense amount of resources and support provided by the district. I also love the way the staff interacted and worked together. You could see the family environment from the time you entered the building.

5TH GRADE TEACHER
KILGORE GIFTED CENTER
Where are you from?
Steelton, Pennsylvania
What is your current job?
5th grade teacher at Spratley Gifted Center
Why did you choose HCS?
I chose HCS because from the very beginning everyone was supportive and helpful. HCS stood out to me when I found that there were virtual job fairs being held. This was huge for me being a military family, I was not local when I applied to work for the district. The openness for virtual interviews was an amazing difference that I could not find anywhere else.
What do you love about HCS?
I love the support and camaraderie I feel in this district. I also love how much Hampton supports their military families in their schools. I feel that this district truly cares about its teachers' successes.
What’s a fun fact about you?
I am an avid Harry Potter lover and too often quote the books and movies in appropriate situations!
Describe your job?
I teach math and language arts to two groups of fifth grade students at Spratley Gifted Center.
How does HCS support your growth?
Throughout the year our district offers training and help sessions to everyone. There are virtual training sessions being offered now too which are amazing for busy teachers!

These strategies are not exhaustive, and teachers are encouraged to continue innovating for greater effectiveness. The Instructional Priorities and endorsed strategies provide a research-based starting point for all classrooms on their journey to academic success.
Professional development offerings will begin to highlight how to use these strategies to meet the Instructional Priorities. In addition, we will begin to embed these strategies into the curriculum to support highly effective teaching and learning.
