Hello Warrior Family! My name is Desiree’ Washington, and I will be teaching 6th grade and 7th Grade Math this school year! I am new to Fort Bend ISD, and this is my first year at Hodges Bend MS, but this is my 8th year in education. I have taught 7th grade Math at West-Orange Stark MS in Orange, Texas for 5 years and 1 year at Odom Academy in Beaumont, TX where I taught 6th grade math pegasus, 7th grade math and 6th grade math Pre-AP. I was previously at Stafford Middle School where I taught at the 7th grade level, so I understand the foundation students need to be successful in math. I believe in building relationships and that it is a teacher’s duty to serve her students and recognize that every student, given the means and opportunity, is capable of success. I graduated from University of Phoenix, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and I am currently a grad student at University of Texas where I am seeking my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction in Mathematics. My spare time consists of spending time with my husband and children, cooking, shopping and most importantly relaxing! I am very excited for this upcoming school year, and I hope to fill those gaps to help my students become life long learners!
