Hi, my name is Courtney Teddy, and I teach at Sakai. I grew up on Bainbridge Island and actually attended Sakai as a student when it first opened! I grew so much in my 6th-grade year, and it was my inspiration to become a teacher. I graduated from BHS, attended WSU, where I got my degree in Elementary Education, and later received a Masters in Middle School Science. I've been teaching since 2011, and I especially love teaching Science and integrating technology. I want students to have hands-on knowledge, real-world applications, a classroom where students can be their most authentic selves, and a place where we all get to learn through making mistakes, embracing new challenges and, most of all, having fun! When I'm not teaching, I'm off traveling the world, spending time with family, or enjoying island living.
