About Mrs. DeKorte

School: Cappy Culver

Class: 1st Grade

Mrs. DeKorte graduated from The Ohio State University and entered the business world for over 15 years. She worked with children on a volunteer basis, teaching art and social skills in her spare time. Eleven and a half years ago she decided to enter the education field full time and return to school to earn her credential to work in California public schools. She worked with special needs students of all ages, teaching life, social, and academic skills. She also worked with middle school and high school students, mentoring them academically and preparing them to enter the workforce. While attending California State University Monterey Bay, she completed her student teaching in a kindergarten classroom.  She currently holds a Bachelor's of Science in Merchandising and a Multiple-Subject Teaching Credential with a supplemental Business Authorization. 

When not teaching, Mrs. DeKorte enjoys traveling the world, reading, and spending time with her family. She has a crazy, adorable dog named Emma.
