Hello! My name is Brianna Hoysan and I will be your child's kindergarten teacher this year. This is my second year teaching and second year at Willow Lane. Last year I taught third grade. Although this is my first year teaching kindergarten, I have the background of many different student teaching placements: kindergarten, second, and third. I graduated from Kutztown University with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education in May 2024. Currently, I am working on my masters in Reading with a Reading Specialist Certification. I live in the area, I am a Parkland High School alum and live with my parents, two younger siblings, and two adorable labador retrievers: Dutch and York.
Outside of teaching, I have a strong background in music and theater. For 10+ years, I have been heavily involved in theater and chorus at a school and community level. This love of theater continued into the college level. Even in my student teacher placement, I have implemented those skills in my lessons to help me grow as a teacher. Such as writing songs, and implementing my own pictures of myself acting in my reading lessons. At Willow Lane, I am the vocal teacher and on the directing team for the school play. It has been so rewarding being able to still do what I love and teach it too. I am a die-hard Steelers fan, and a New York Mets fan. In the fall, you will find me watching football on Sundays and bringing in our Steelers' "Victory Mondays" to the classroom.
