Hi everyone!

 My name is Andre Blanchfield and I am so happy to be part of the JPE family for the 2022-2023 school year in my role as a 5th grade Language Arts/Reading/Social Studies teacher.  This is my 4th year in 5th grade at JPE, having taught all of the subjects last year over the course of the last couple of years. 

 A little about me:

This year marks 15 years as an educator and I have been blessed to have worked with students as a middle school teacher (for 3 years) and an elementary school teacher (for the other 12).  I am a graduate of Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA and in the process of wrapping up my Masters of Educational Leadership from Western Governors University this upcoming school year.  Additionally, I have worked as an adult educator at Literacy Advance Houston, assisting adults with comprehension and mastery of the English language.

In my time outside of school, I enjoy being a husband and father.  My wife, Dalila, was a college professor at Prairie View University and Lone Star College. We have 3 sons who bring us a lot of joy and, in our spare time, we  enjoy traveling, movies, food, and music.

My family 

My personal educational philosophy:

ACCOUNTABILITY!!!!

One word, but a very powerful one!

I believe that ALL students can be successful, but it takes home and school collaboration to make this magic happen.   Although my students may be young, they need to know that they are responsible for their learning.  If this understanding exists, then they can truly realize their potential. 

 As the year progresses, feel  free to reach out to me with questions, concerns, or general comments at:

 Let's make the upcoming school year a successful one!!!

Thanks,

Andre Blanchfield
