I am Chay D. King,  I am currently a fourth grade teacher at Horace Mann Academy, which is located on the southeast side of Chicago. I have over 15 years of teaching experience. I have taught grades K-5 over the years. I have experience with private, charter, and public school education. I have been a part of CPS for the last 12 years. I am a lover of Math and S.T.E.M education. I am an Elementary Math Specialist. I am currently enrolled in an Educational Leadership program, with hopes if being an Instructional Coach in the future. I like to say, "I do everything." I get involved in everything school related from Instructional Leadership Teams to School & Community Events Committees. Weirdly, I like to attend and be involved in all types of professional developments. That is the only way to grow in my book professionally. Remote learning has changed our typical way of teaching and has forced us to teach outside the box. I strongly believe students are very tech savvy now. They stepped their game up and so do we as teachers. We just have to keep raising the bar and pushing  them to grow even more. I am ready for it. I hope you are too!
