"KJDS is an exciting place to be! I am thrilled that I can work in a community that is both fun and challenging for students and staff. I truly enjoy supporting our teachers and children as they try new things, whether it’s learning a different approach to unit planning or attempting to build a structure that can withstand an earthquake. At KJDS we are constantly igniting curiosity and modeling a life-long love of learning."
Ms. Louise brings a wealth of classroom experience to her work at KJDS.

She then went on to teach Geography, English, Writing, Critical Thinking, and Math at secondary schools in Charleston, SC, Washington, DC, Chelsea, MA, and Newport News, VA. She has also worked as Department Head and Lead Teacher, helping teachers to write and implement curriculum and sharing management and instructional strategies.
In addition to acting as Innovation Coach at KJDS, Louise works as a Teacher Mentor for the National Urban Alliance for Effective Education. With NUA, Louise coaches teachers in urban districts in best practices to improve student outcomes.
