My name is Amelia Yates, and I am so excited about being one of your teachers this year. I have taught in the public school system for the past 15 years, and I love being a teacher.
I went to Willard Schools most of my life, and I am so proud to be able to now teach in such a great district. After high school, I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Missouri State University. I was a STARR teacher for two years and trained Southwest Missouri teachers with instructional strategies. I also earned my Masters of School Leadership at Evangel University.
When I am not at school, I enjoy being outdoors with my family canoeing, four-wheeler riding, and camping. I also spend a lot of time watching my daughters, Chelsea and Courtney, play basketball and volleyball. My husband's name is Brian, and we have been married for 18 years. Smokey Joe is our crazy cat, and our two lazy puggles are named Maggie and Miley.
The beginning of the school year is always exciting, new faces and friends. I consider it a privilege to be your teacher, and I think that we are going to have a great year together. Our new Tiger TEAM will be a wonderful place for us to grow, share and learn together.
