About Me

Hi! I am Tisha Bartu and I am excited to have the opportunity to teach your second-grade students! I graduated with my Elementary Education degree from Colorado Christian University. This will be my eighth year at Klondike Elementary. Last year I served as a first-grade teacher, prior to that I worked at KES in a variety of roles, including as Reading Interventionist. I am passionate about teaching children and helping them to grow as they learn new things! It is very important to me to create a welcoming and friendly environment that enables students to develop a love of learning! My teaching style is a very hands-on approach! I will work hard to differentiate our instruction to ensure that each student is able to learn to the best of their abilities! Wong & Wong (2018) explains that,  to become an effective teacher requires passion and striving to influence their students lives. They recognize that "mastery learning involves a lifelong commitment to honing the art and craft of teaching with the expectation that you will achieve impact."
