Hello! My name is Natalie Bangs and I am a new educator joining the Timberline Middle School staff. I graduated from the University of Washington in 2019 with my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Development and Family Studies. I then took a year "off" to apply for graduate schools, travel, and enjoy life. During this time, I was a paraeducator substitute in multiple elementary schools. I just recently graduated from the University of Washington with my Masters in Special Education. I performed my student teaching at West Woodland Elementary in their K-5th Access program from August 2021-June 2022. This will be my first official teaching position and my first time working in middle school. I couldn't be more excited and hopeful for the journey that lies ahead!
As an educator, my goal is to strive towards equity. Every student deserves the best education, and my goal is to help provide that to them. Throughout this year and the continuation of my teaching, I will continue to educate myself on the most equitable practices that will best serve all students.
