Kristiaan Rawlings, Ph.D. (ABD)

Welcome to English Language Arts at Shelbyville Middle School! Specific information regarding sections I teach can be accessed through the links above. (7th grade Honors syllabus here; 8th grade general ELA syllabus here.)

Teaching ELA is my passion. Preparing your child for success in high school and beyond is my priority. I am a former Golden Bear (SHS Class of 2001) and hold degrees from Oglala Lakota College on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (B.A., Literature and Communication) and New Mexico State University (Master's, Educational Administration, and Ph.D. ABD, Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Bilingual Education - Go Aggies!), as well as an English Learner Teacher of Record certificate, completed at Indiana University. I hold a Professional Educator's License in Indiana for Language Arts, grades 5 - 12, and an Indiana Building Level Administrator license.

I also consistently update parents and guardians. Please feel free to contact me at karawlings@shelbycs.org.
