Mrs. Yurconic loves to work with young learners! The first degree she earned was in communication design from Kutztown University. She worked for corporate America and decided she wanted to be more creatively challenged. Going back to Kutztown enabled her to earn her teaching degree which she feels was the best vocation switch. She enjoys meeting challenges in her sixth grade classroom in a creative manner. Throughout the years she has worked on continuing her education and has worked collaboratively with many educators and administrators developing her teacher style and practices.
There is always something fun and educational going on in the classroom. Students enjoy working together on projects while investigating their own thinking and learning styles in the classroom. Mrs. Yurconic fosters an environment which supports higher level thinking, team building, and the development and refining of multiple intelligences. With the use of digital technology and having students generate questions to promote curiosity in the classroom, she continues to strive to help students reach their full potential by creating learning experiences to develop critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills for the 21st century and to support Salisbury's portraits of a graduate.
Her current assignment is on the 6th grade Kestrel Team teaching social studies and co-teaching Math in 5th grade with the marvelous Mr. Adams!
