Gretchen Wall
Ms. Wall has 26 years of teaching experience. For the last 20 years she has been teaching at DoDEA schools. This past year, Ms. Wall has been providing services to preschool children with disabilities at Vilseck Elementary School in DoDEA's Bavaria District. She also taught at Argonner Elementary School, Babenhausen Elementary School, Hainerberg Elementary School, and Halvorsen Elementary School. Prior to joining DoDEA, Ms. Wall taught Kindergarten at Badger Springs Elementary School in Moreno Valley, California, 4th grade at Fairbanks Elementary School in Morenci, Arizona, and Chapter 1 reading at Keeling Elementary School and Prince Elementary School, both in Tucson, Arizona.
Ms. Wall graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Science in Child Development and Family Relations. She received her Master of Education in Reading, Language and Culture. Ms. Wall strongly believes that as a teacher it is important for her to get to know each child that enters her classroom, "to find the best ways to encourage them to enter, to let them stay as long as they need, and finally to encourage them to walk independently back out the door". To accomplish this, a teacher must cultivate the classroom environment so each child can learn, grow, discover, and explore.
