Meet the Teacher - Karen Evans
Hi! Â I am Karen Evans. Â I am excited to help you learn! Teaching has always been my first love and now I am enjoying it during this chapter in my life. I am a semi-retired Director of Human Resources. That career has given me the opportunity to teach classes on Leadership, Careers, Social Injustice and Equal Opportunity.
I value education and have a Masters Degree in Human Resources and Management and am a adjunct faculty member teaching Human Resource and Management courses at Park University. Â Â My career in Human Resources also gave me the opportunity to resolve conflicts as well as deal with other employee relations issues, including racial, sex and gender discrimination in the workplace. Â
In addition, Â I am a substitute teacher for a local school district teaching K-8th grades. I want to help your child with Writing, Reading Comprehension, Spelling and Grammar at this level. Â I have an easy-going, interactive teaching style that is fun! Â In the classroom at elementary schools, I carry a treasure box with prizes for star students and we also take time out for dance parties! Â I Floss, Orange Justice, Hype and do it all with them. Â They absolutely love it! Â I would love to transfer knowledge to your child.
