Hi! My name is Brittany Baerenwald and I’m the sixth grade teacher at Pikes Peaks Prep. I grew up in Minnesota where I graduated magna cum laude from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota with a double major in Elementary Education and Spanish. Some of my highlights in college include organizing and participating in mission trips through a campus organization called Justice Journeys, acclimating new freshmen students to college life as a freshmen orientation leader and volunteer, and studying abroad in Spanish for a semester to further improve my Spanish.
After graduation, I spent the summer in Phoenix, Arizona teaching summer school before starting to teach at Pikes Peak Prep. While this is only my first year teaching, I have had previous experience educating children through student teaching, working as nanny, working at summer camps, and working as an aid to children with disabilities. Through my previous experience with children and this year of teaching, I have developed a teaching philosophy which influences my actions and mindsets in the classroom. My teaching philosophy is “All children have the right and the ability to learn.” I believe that all children can learn and have a right to a quality education no matter their background, socioeconomic status or reputation.
