Hello! I am Supriya Jha. I’m excited to be working with and learning from such a motivating and hard working group of educators and students. I have been teaching in Fort Bend ISD for eighteen years. I am a graduate of the University of Houston with a Bachelor’s degree in Consumer Science and Merchandising and a Masters in Education. I began my teaching career in Lexington Creek Elementary where I taught first grade and was a Reading Recovery teacher for nine years. Reading Recovery training acted as a springboard to help get all of my students to a strong start in literacy. I believe in being a life long learner so I revamp and revise my instruction each year as I learn new tools and strategies to catapult my students on their path of academic growth. In 2017, SMS piloted a new course called Middle School Discovery. I was one of the three teachers given the opportunity to create a curriculum for this course. Jag Discovery is a transition class designed to help our students ease into middle school with confidence and success. ​Through our curriculum, we will equip them with the skills and habits they need to do their best in all their classes and life in general. When I am not teaching, I enjoy hiking and working out with my husband, Kirit. I love traveling, reading, visiting friends and family and watching movies. I’m excited to be part of SMS and looking forward to having a great and successful year!!
