I am Sarah Cooper
I am a teacher in Discovery D.
My first year at the CDC was 2003.
The people I work with the most at the CDC are Ms. Jefchak and Ms. Heidi.

My goals
- To continually be inspired by the Reggio Emilio approach to education.
- To integrate visual languages (paint, clay, wire) into each academic subject and its instruction.
My history
After graduating from Albion College in 2003, I came to the CDC as a paraprofessional and worked with Mrs. French in Discovery A. One year later I was hired as a teacher and spent two years teaching kindergarten and first grade in Discovery B. After a year as the Studio Coordinator, I moved into Discovery D. I have been teaching second and third grade for four years and I love it!
A few years ago I finished my Masters degree at Aquinas College, but I’m looking to go back again. I’m very interested in curriculum development and differentiated instruction.
I connect with
Reading, cooking and being with friends and family.
