Micheline Eloise Huntley

Ms. Huntley has 36 years of teaching experience, and has taught reading and language arts to elementary school students in DoDEA schools in Japan and Germany for 23 years. Prior to joining DoDEA, she taught Kindergarten and 1st grade at Bladenboro Primary School in Bladenboro, N.C. She is a graduate of North Carolina A&T State University, earning her Bachelors and Masters of Science degrees in Early Childhood Education.

Ms. Huntley also recognizes the importance of preparing students for their role in a global environment. "My philosophy of teaching has always been to prepare the child to be a lifelong learner and a productive citizen in our global world," she said. I believe that children should be taught first to believe in themselves - we do this by providing them with a safe environment where they can be comfortable taking risks, solving problems, and feeling excited about the process as they learn to be independent thinkers and learners."
