Bio
My name is Katie Schuessler. I am a K-5 general music and chorus teacher in Connecticut. My main philosophy in teaching is that all students are able to learn and thrive in my classroom. I teach a large variety of learners, including students with special needs and English language learners. I recently attainted by degree in the Kodaly method at Colorado State University. When I am not teaching, I enjoy hiking, traveling, seeing shows on Broadway, and going to concerts.Project ideas
