The dedicated teachers and administrative staff at Self Development Charter School (SDCS) provide key support to achieve the high standards of learning, and one of these dedicated teachers is Mrs. Christina Harguess.
Mrs. Harguess has been teaching at SDCS for the past eight years. She also is a member of the administrative team. Mrs. Harguess has taught first through fourth grade, as well as serving as a resource to teachers and students from kindergarten through eighth grade.
Mrs. Harguess’s strength in the classroom is her ability to connect with each individual student. She does not look at her classroom as a group of students, but rather as individual students making up her classroom setting.
The instruction techniques of Mrs. Harguess ensure each student in her classroom receives every lesson based on individual learning styles. She sets high expectations for all of her students to ensure they reach their full potential.
Besides ensuring the students receive challenging academic instruction, Mrs. Harguess works hard with each child to ensure they believe in themselves. She has a way of working with each individual child to ensure each believes in personal success.
Mrs. Harguess has had an impact on several different groups of students throughout her time with SDCS. Each year, there is a new group of students honored to call Mrs. Harguess their teacher and SDCS their school.
Mrs. Harguess received her bachelor of science degree in elementary education from Northern Arizona University. She has two children who attend SDCS.
SDCS is an award-winning, tuition-free, excelling school, which, for the 2010-2011 school year, was the top-ranked individual kindergarten through eighth grade school, as recognized by the Arizona Department of Education.
