Hi! My name is Christine Tarver and I teach GSP for Kindergarten - 2nd grade here at Freedom 7. I also teach Kindergarten - 6th Grade Exceptional Student Education. My passion has always been teaching and helping young children grow and develop. I have taught in Brevard since 2007, teaching Kindergarten, 6th grade, 5th grade, Gifted Student Education, and Exceptional Student Education previously. I received my teaching certification in Elementary Education K-6 from the University of Central Florida.

I have also had the pleasure of writing educational curriculum for Math and Science with the Florida State University. Teachers across the globe use the curriculum I helped to author. I am a product of Brevard County schools, I attended Imperial Estates Elementary, Tropical Elementary, Jefferson Middle School, and Merritt Island High school. I was a gifted learner as well, and feel like my personal experiences in the gifted program gives me a unique perspective when working with this population of students.

I married my high school sweetheart in 2009 and we have one beautiful 11-year-old son. He is in 6th grade at Freedom 7, I am so lucky to drive to work each day with my son. As a family, we love spending time together outside and at the beach. We also love to travel! My son loves to surf and help me cook. I love to read, cook, garden, and spoil our two cats in my spare time.
