Hello! My name is Terry Kurtz. I am a teacher at Clifford School in the Elementary program. My students are the Grade 3 A and B classes. This is my sixth school year at Clifford School. I’ve taught in first grade, second grade, and the third grade. I truly enjoy teaching and my students have always been the main reason for my enjoyment. My other duties at school are as a Team Leader for the grades 1, 2, and 3 Western teachers in the Elementary program, as well as being the boys basketball coach for the grade 7 and 8 International program. I recently was rewarded with the Teacher of the Year Award for the 2005-2006 school year.

I received an Associates degree from Scottsdale Community College. I earned my Bachelors of Science degree in Political Science from Azusa Pacific University in Los Angeles, California. I also attended the University of West Los Angeles School of Law before continuing my education at the University of Phoenix where I earned my Teaching Certification. I performed my 12 week student teaching practicum at Queen Creek Elementary in Queen Creek, Arizona.

I believe that students should be nurtured to become successful men and women in the future. My teaching philosophy incorporates a whole language approach while allowing students to process information to discover new ideas and concepts.
