Hello families! My name is Kate Daniel and I am looking forward to a wonderful year of learning with your child as the Ocean Air Innovation Technologist. 

I have been an educator for 18 years and have been a teacher in DMUSD since 2008. 

I received both my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and Master of Arts in Education from Point Loma Nazarene University.  I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Theater and an added credential authorization to teach Drama in grades K-12.

You can find me in Room 702 or email me at kdaniel@dmusd.org

Here's to a great year ahead!

Life Outside the Shark Tank

When I'm not in the classroom being a teacher, I'm a mom to my 8-year-old son who is a third grader at Ocean Air this year. My family enjoys being outside, taking hikes with our dog, Ruby, and swimming at the beach. We love to travel to faraway places and seek adventure.  As a Philadelphia native, I also enjoy spending time on the East Coast with my family and friends. I especially love places with snow!

I believe in...

...empowering students to become independent, critical thinkers

...giving students the space to ask questions and change their minds

...building understanding together

...encouraging students to be confident and discover their interests and strengths

If you're always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.

-Maya Angelou

What to Expect

This year, all students will develop their skills as innovators and designers in a variety of subject areas. They will enhance their learning of Science, History/Social Science, and English Language Arts through a variety of technology experiences. Students will be challenged to apply their learning in order to take action and problem-solve in our community and world.

I am committed to helping your child feel inspired and excited about learning. We're going to have a great year!
