Introduction

My name is Kaylie Schmitt. I grew up in a suburb outside of Philadelphia near Pottstown. I have three dogs. Two are Scottish Terriers and one is an Australian Shepard. One of my favorite hobbies is reading books. Some of my favorite books often are fantasy based. Another of my hobbies is Yoga which I enjoy since it helps me relax at the end of the day.

My love of teaching started early when I was a young child playing school with my sister and our friends from the neighborhood at each other’s houses. This combined with my experiences with my teachers is why I want to teach. I studied at Penn State to be a secondary education teacher for biology. I started college during the summer of 2019 and graduated the spring of 2023. I joined the Schreyer Honors College in my second year of college. I graduated with honors in my major as well as Cum Laude. I have minors in biology and psychology. As part of graduating with honors I had to write a thesis that was titled Effects of Ambitious Science Teaching Pedagogy on Building a Positive Classroom Community.

During my student teaching I was in both a middle school and a high school classroom.
