About your Teachers

My Name is Jyoti Canton and I've been teaching for 13 years. I've taught 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade, and am so excited to teach second grade this year! We have a great team of teachers who are passionate, organized, rigorous, and fun! I have two wonderful kids, Maddie and Brady and a wonderful husband, Chris. We LOVE Oregon, running, hiking, and spending time together. I can't wait to meet my new students and get to know each child and family in my class. Please email me at jyoti_canton@beaverton.k12.or.us if you have any questions.

Hi second grade families!

My name is Katelyn Christie and I am a resident teacher in the Teach for Beaverton masters program through Oregon State University, and I will be joining Mrs. Canton in teaching this incoming group of second graders this year! By being a “resident” teacher in this program means I have already completed a year of student teaching, passed content area exams, and a year of course work. In this year's role, I will be completing a variety of educator licensure tasks where I will be teaching all subjects with the support of Mrs. Canton and the rest of the second grade team. Last year, I taught in a fourth grade classroom within the Beaverton school district and worked as a substitute for the district for grades K-5. Before this program, I worked in early intervention where I supported young learners and their families for two years in a variety of roles In my free time, I love to explore the outdoors by hiking or kayaking. In addition, I love to dance and have been dancing for 15 years in a variety of styles, ballet being my favorite.

I am excited to work alongside Mrs. Canton and get to know all these wonderful students and their families!
