Hello, I am Pavithra Rajagopalan Balaji, and I go by Mrs. Balaji. I have been a dedicated educator with two decades of teaching experience. I started my career as a kindergarten teacher in Fremont, California. I have been an elementary school teacher in two continents and have successfully adapted to different teaching and learning styles. I come from a family of teachers where conversations around the dinner table always centered around education and young learners. My goal is to create an engaging classroom in which every child feels valued and heard. I am committed to helping each and every student achieve their highest potential.
I hold a B.A in English Literature and a B.Ed in Education. I hold a diploma in Journalism and Mass Communications as well.
Last year, I taught fourth grade ELAR at Norris and I am so excited to work with my students this year!
