I graduated from Grand Canyon University with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. This is my third year at Cherokee Elementary School.
About Me:
Hello! Welcome to 1st grade. My name is Austin Vann. I am 30 years old. I was born in Cedartown but moved after high school graduation. Before my career in education, I worked at Walt Disney World and was a flight attendant. Being able to travel the world with my previous job gave me many opportunities to expand my understanding of different people. This is paramount in the education field! I love doing anything creative, spending time with my amazing friends, listening to Taylor Swift, and the occasional Disney World trip. I am excited to learn and grow with all of my students this year!
If you need to contact me, please reach out! We are going to have a great year!
Philosophy Statement:
I believe that the classroom is a place for students to learn, feel valued, be supported, and feel safe. Each student brings a diverse perspective of the world around them. As a teacher, I am morally obligated to ensure each student finds their voice and becomes equipped with the tools they need to be successful. I see the classroom as a welcoming place for everyone, despite our differences. I believe every student in my classroom can make positive change, show respect to others, and use their academic and critical thinking skills to their ability. Every day, I strive to bring an open mind, a cheerful attitude, and high standards to the learning environment.
