Kim Spotts

Teaching Philosophy and Biography

Hello! I am the 6th grade Language Arts and Social Studies teacher. For those of you who don’t know me, let me introduce myself. I am the proud mother of four beautiful intelligent girls; Sarah, 16; Savannah 13; Mallory 10; and Maddy 7. I have been married to my husband, Bruce for 19 wonderful and glorious years. Our family is a transplant to Flagstaff. We moved here from Indianapolis, Indiana in March of 2005. I grew up most of my life in the mid-west, Ohio, Indiana, and Minnesota. So, being in this mountain town is a new adventure for our family. My degree is in Integrated Curriculums from DePaul University, Chicago, Illinois. I was the music teacher for Mountain School 2006-2008. I taught HS English at Northland Preparatory Academy for the 2008-2009 school year, and I am pleased to return to Mountain School this year. I am also currently a trainer for the San Francisco Symphony’s Keeping Score Program.

I believe that learning is a joint effort between student and teacher. We all have knowledge that needs to be shared and grown. In my classroom, I intend to create an environment where both student and teacher can learn. I believe in infusing music and the arts throughout the curriculum. Studies have shown that music ignites the entire brain and I believe that music is a great tool to ensure comprehension.

I am excited to get to know your child and to help prepare them for their next big adventure - Middle School! Please feel free to contact me via email with any questions or concerns.
