OCS children benefit from the many years of teaching experience shared among our teachers. We're very excited about the educational opportunities offered by these three professionals, our interns from The Evergreen State College, and our parent volunteers.
Becky Becky comes to us with a bachelor of arts in environmental studies and a master’s degree in education, both from Prescott College. We were impressed with her experience working with children in a variety of settings. Becky has taught both in a Head Start program and in a bilingual kindergarten, and has also worked with children at a guidance clinic and at adventure education camps. Becky served as an AmeriCorps member at Roosevelt Elementary School in Olympia. Becky is passionate about environmental and democratic education, and values an emergent curriculum that is hands-on and empowers students. Jeriann Candace Candace has a B.A. in Literature and Creative Writing from the University of Arizona, and has an additional two years in the teaching program at the University of Washington. She has taught preschool through high school. At OCS Candace has taught during the teachers' planning time and acted as a substitute teacher for the last 4 years. She enjoys teaching an integrated curriculum that helps children understand the connections between all knowledge. She strongly believes that it is essential that children be included in making decisions about curriculum, problem solving and other aspects of their learning experience. She is excited to teach at OCS where environmental awareness, creative arts and hands-on learning are established aspects of the curriculum and where, in addition to an excellent academic program, addressing each child’s emotional and social needs and other aspects of development is highly valued. Internships In addition to our teaching staff and parent volunteers, we are proud to offer internship opportunities to students of The Evergreen State College. This is an opportunity for college students, many of whom are pursuing their own degrees in Education, to work with and observe progressive, creative teaching in a small, multi-age school that, in addition to general academics, focuses on promoting environmental awareness, peaceful, respectful relationships and conflict resolution skills.
