About me:

Hello! My name is Kaitlyn Walker. I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year. This year is going to be full of new adventures and fun!

 I am a graduate of Richland High School. I continued my education at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown where I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education. While working towards my bachelor's, I additionally received a certification in Special Education and English as a Second Language. I continued my education and completed my master's degree through Penn West University in Educational Psychology!

Beyond academics, I am passionate about mental health advocacy and believe that students can only thrive to their full potential when their mind is being taken care of. In our classroom, I integrate social-emotional learning to help students develop decision-making skills, problem-solving abilities, goal-setting strategies, empathy, and emotional resilience.

In my free time outside of school, I enjoy working out at the gym, being active outside, and traveling to as many new places as possible!
