Angelica L. Jordan

Ms. Jordan has 15 years of teaching experience. She has been teaching Partial Spanish Immersion and Spanish FLES to 2nd and 3rd grade students at Mannheim Elementary School in Germany for the past six years. Prior to her assignment with DoDEA, Ms. Jordan taught for eight years at Countryside Elementary School in Edina, Minn. Ms. Jordan is a graduate of Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn., and earned her Masters of Arts in Education from Hamline University in St. Paul, Minn.

Ms. Jordan believes that effective teachers spend time building relationships with students, parents, colleagues, and administrators. "When I know a student's likes, dislikes, and interests, I can differentiate lessons," she said. By building an open and honest relationship with parents, I become a partner in education with the family. Building strong relationships with fellow colleagues and administrators allows us to plan together and share ideas so we can take advantage of each other's strengths. I believe the relationships I've fostered have enhanced my teaching and raised student achievement at Mannheim Elementary School."
