=Ms. Kristine Kamper's Professional Portfolio= This is a collection of Ms. Kamper's professional work and class work that she has completed in the classroom as well as the course work that had been completed outside of the classroom.

Resume = = My interest is to teach Science at the Middle School level. I currently teach 7th grade science at Fort Zumwalt West Middle school and have attained Masters of Arts in Education in Elementary education as well as a Bachelors of Arts in Biology with praxis certification in general science 5-9th grade. For the past two and a half years, I have had the pleasure of combining my two favorite things, Science and Education.

I enjoy teaching and love having opportunity to engage young minds in the scientific world. I have a strong educational background in science and currently teach Life Science to 7th Graders in both a regular science classroom as well as a CWC classroom. Also, I have developed student’s love of science through the direction of middle school science club. Throughout my teaching experiences, I have helped enrich student understanding through a variety of educational opportunities and build my communication with students and parents in and out of the classroom through the use of a classroom website and email.

As an educator, I attempt to inspire students to be natural thinkers, constantly digging deeper and asking questions about the world around them. I help students develop into active learners by involving them in hands-on/minds-on experiences in and outside of the classroom. I bring energy, creativity, patience and daily enthusiasm to the classroom keeping the students interested in the material, while still maintain classroom control and organization. It is important to reach every student and teach them how to be life long learners, thereby giving them the skills to be successful learners.

I have also developed my role as a professional and leader not only in the school, but in the district. By engaging in curriculum development, offering district wide technology in-service opportunities and becoming a leader of my science curriculum team. These positions have allowed me to strengthen myself as a teacher by building my communication skills with administrators and other co-workers.
