Mrs. Knaggs Bio

Welcome!

My name is Cecilia Knaggs and I am excited to be your instructor. I have been working in education for many years and I love teaching. I have my BA in Art History and my MA Ed in Secondary Education. I have worked at the college level teaching English Language Acquisition, Reading and Art Appreciation. I have also been a substitute teacher in grades K-8. In addition, I trained and coached other teachers to improve their classroom techniques.

I live with my husband and two boys in Chandler. I love to read, swim, walk, and hang out with friends and family. My favorite TV show is Project Runway, The Crown and anything new on NetFlix or Hulu. I also enjoy volunteering with my kids because I love helping people! This is probably why I became a teacher. :-)

My teaching philosophy is all about making connections and communication! First, I believe it is important to connect new information to existing knowledge. When you can do this you will understand and retain new information better. Next, remember to communicate when you run into an obstacle or become frustrated. Anytime you have a question or need help, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me!

Happy Learning! Mrs. K
