About the Teacher . . . Mrs. Monks
My name is Tina Monks and I am excited to be the Technology Coordinator & Technology Teacher at Gordon Parks Elementary. I am looking forward to working with all the students at the elementary school. Below is a bit of background information about myself.
This is my 17th year as a teacher. I started my career as a 3rd grade teacher where I was in a technology rich classroom, with 12 computers in my room, so this sparked my interest for technology in education. I am excited about teaching technology to all grade levels to help students expand and enrich their learning. I am looking forward to teaching students how to use computer programs that they will need to be successful in life.
I graduated from the University of Central Missouri with a dual major in elementary and early childhood education and received my masters degree from Webster University in teaching. I also completed a graduate certificate program in online teaching and learning and in December of 2015 I finished my Education Specialist Degree in Educational Technology.
I have been married to my husband for 19 years and we have 3 wonderful children, Nick who is 17, Alexis who is 15, and Connor who is 12. We love spending time together and enjoy going to the lake.
I am looking forward to getting to know all the students and watching them grow! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
