About+Me

My name is Caitlin Grothaus and I am graduating with my Masters of Arts in Teaching in Elementary Education in May 2012 from the University of Louisville. I have always known that I wanted to be a teacher (it was more a vocation than anything else) but did not always know that I wanted to work with younger children.

Completing the MAT program at the University of Louisville has been a dream come true - I've been able to expand my abilities, refine my philosophy and really practice what I hope to do someday for a job.

I have completed observations and practicums at Portland Elementary School (4th Grade), Simpsonville Elementary School (3rd Grade) and Gilmore Lane Elementary (Kindergarten). My student teaching was completed at Atkinson Elementary (4th Grade and 1st Grade Demonstration Classroom). I enjoy working with all levels of students.
