My name is Katie Elliott and
I will be teaching IT in the Lower School computer lab this year. This is my eighth year at TASIS, having previously taught 2nd grade and 4th
grade. I am delighted to be working with Pre-K through 4th grade
students and look forward to the upcoming year.
I would like to extend a huge
welcome to families new to TASIS, and welcome back to returning families. It’s
a fantastic place!
I was born and raised in
Indiana, and completed my degree in elementary education at Indiana University.
During my time there, I was very fortunate to be able to student teach in
Norwich, England. I fell in love with this country and decided to then teach
here for one year; here we are 11 years later and I haven’t left yet. In that
time, I taught in British state schools in Norwich, then in Virginia Water,
before discovering TASIS.
My objective is to
give pupils a sound level of IT capability and the skills to build upon in
their learning of other subjects. The TASIS LS Lab is a fantastic
facility for students to learn these basic skills. In the lab this year, your
child may have instruction in the areas of internet safety, word processing,
presentations, and keyboarding skills, among others. I will be working closely
with your child’s teacher this year to plan lessons that are both fun and
educational.
Email is probably the easiest
way to reach me. My email address is kelliott@tasisengland.org.
I check this email several times a day, including before school and lunchtime,
but not during teaching time.
If you need to urgently reach
me during the school day, call Alex Church in the Lower School office at 01932
582427.
Thank you for giving me the
opportunity to teach your child. I view my relationship with you as a
partnership in which you and I work together for your child’s educational and
social benefit. I look forward to an exciting year of learning with you and
your child.
