Kina Billmaier-Stallings
Ms. Stallings has 8 years of teaching experience. She has been teaching 6th and 7th grade math and science for all of those eight years at Heidelberg Middle School in Heidelberg, Germany. Ms. Stallings is a graduate of Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn., earning her Bachelor of Science in Education and a Computer Science Certification. She is currently working towards her Masters Degree in Educational Technology from Wisconsin Stout University.
Ms. Stallings believes that extra-curricular activities such as Odyssey of the Mind, E-cybermission, Student Council, and Honors Band, to name a few, give students an opportunity to shine while being challenged. She also believes extra-curricular activities help shape a child and give them experiences to learn beyond the classroom. A father writes, "Our daughter, Jamie, showed very little interest in science but now considers it one of her favorite subjects. Ms. Stallings volunteers hundreds of hours from her weekends and time after school to nurture students' curiosity...to find solutions to how natural and manmade objects work."
