First grade is an adventure for students, teachers and parents. In this class you will always be welcome, safe, and encouraged to share your thoughts!
I am currently a substitute teacher/tutor, but someday I hope to have a first grade class of my own. I am currently attending National University to obtain my CA General Education Teaching Credential with a Master's in Education Technology.
How I got into teaching. I graduated from UCLA in 2000, and started my career in Sports Marketing at DIRECTV. After DIRECTV I worked for Disney and ESPN but was unfortunately laid off several times due to the rise and fall of the economy. After having a difficult time finding a job I decided to try teaching! I past the CBEST and began substituting in Hermosa Beach and at Chadwick School in Palos Verdes.
I always kind of knew teaching was in my blood, as my Wife, Mom and my in-laws are all educators! I made them all very happy deciding to become a teacher. I have been subbing now for 3 years while I have been taking classes toward my credential.
I can't wait to do my student teaching and eventually have a class of my own! Right now my days are filled teaching K-5th grade and by afternoon/evening I am a Father/Coach/Tutor/Husband and Student. If you need to reach me or have any questions please email me at jdking1326@gmail.com.
I'm so excited to become a fabulous first grade teacher like my wife!
