About The Teacher
Welcome, My name is Miss Mandy Cain. I am very excited to continue my journey in education with the James Monroe faculty/and families this year as a Language Arts/Literature, Journalism, and Drama teacher. I love working with middle school students and believe that this year will be an excellent one. This will be my fourth year at James Monroe. Last year went exceptionally well due in large part to the amazing students and the supportive positive community. Last year I completed my Level 2 licensure requirements, which means that I am now officially considered a professional teacher! I am very excited to begin this school year because it will be my first year teaching drama. I was involved in drama all through high school and recently was cast in a local production of the play Noises Off. Theatre has always been a passion of mine, and I'm excited to parlay that love into my career. I am the kind of teacher who loves student voices, and I'm excited to hear even more of those voices in our drama classes. In my first year at JMMS I was honored by the students with a nomination for JMMS Teacher of the Year. Over the past few years I have been the yearbook advisor and an active member of the faculty. I anticipate that this year will be even better than the last. I am thrilled to meet a new group of interesting unique students and to see what talents they will bring to their classes. Prior to my time at JMMS, I worked for the Albuquerque Public Schools for two years as an educational assistant in the ISP program at Highland High School, and I loved every minute of it. I also completed one year of student teaching split between 10th grade Language Arts at Highland High School and 8th grade Language Arts at Wilson Middle School. I hold my B.A. in Communications and Journalism and my M.A. in Secondary Education with a concentration in Language Arts. Both of my degrees were obtained at the University of New Mexico. Once again, I want to thank you for taking the time to visit my website and ask you to feel free to contact me via e-mail or at the school any time (cain_a@aps.edu). I am here to support students and families in any way I can. -Mandy Cain
