About The Teacher

NAME: Ms. Butler

SCHOOL: S. C. Red Elementary

CLASS: 2nd Grade

SCHOOL PHONE: 713-726-3638

I am a product of Houston ISD.  I grew up in a neighboring community many, 
many years ago and attended Longfellow Elementary, Pershing Middle, and 
Bellaire High School.  I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Curriculum and 
Instruction (Education)  from Texas Southern University (TSU) and
a Master's Degree in Educational Administration from TSU, as well.  I hold 
teaching certification in the areas of Generic Special Education, English as 
a Second Language, Elementary Self Contained (1-8), Gifted and Talented, and 
Principal. This is my eleventh year teaching, sixth year at S. C. Red, and 
eigth year in Houston ISD. Prior to coming to Houston ISD, I worked in 
North Forest ISD for six years, 4 years as a teacher and 2 years as a 
secretary.  I am the proud mommy of a wonderful nine year old girl.  I 
make spending time with my family and friends a priority and I hope my love 
of reading will be contagious in my classroom.  In the near future, I plan 
to pursue a Doctorate Degree in Education and eventually teach on the 
college level.

Mission For The Class

My mission for the class is to cultivate independence in the learning 
process.  I hope to help my students develop into independent thinkers, 
where they will seek out ways to solve problems, answer questions, and 
produce original works with confidence and self-sufficiency.
