Kimberly Mayne

Gifted and Talented Facilitator (K-4)

Meet Mrs. Mayne

Hello!  I am thrilled to be Aspen View Academy's K-4 Gifted Facilitator for the fourth year. I taught previously in Virginia for nine years, spending four of those years in the classroom as a third grade teacher and five years as a Gifted Education Teacher. I then took nine years off to raise my two girls, now in eighth grade and third grade. It is quite special to be able to ride to school together and catch little glimpses of them in the hallways throughout the day. 

 

I was born and raised in Northern Virginia outside of Washington, D.C. and received my Undergraduate Degrees in K-8 Elementary Education and Mass Communications from Emory & Henry College. Later, I received my Master’s in Teaching from George Mason University and my Gifted Education Endorsement from University of Virginia. 

 

My family and I moved to Colorado in 2011, only to be transferred to California 2 years later. We returned to Colorado in 2017 and haven’t looked back. We love this beautiful state and all it has to offer. On the weekends we enjoy hiking, camping, and exploring. My daughters play soccer as well and we spend quite a bit of time on the soccer field. My hobbies include traveling, running, biking, home decorating, reading, watching movies, shopping. This past summer we went on a Disney Cruise for the week of our birthdays, as both the girls and I share a birthday week! We swam with dolphins and enjoyed some wonderful quality time together. 

 

Working with Gifted Learners in Virginia was my passion. As a classroom teacher, I loved providing students with challenging content and enrichment while compacting and tiering lessons appropriate to their levels. It truly became magical when all needs were being met in the classroom. My Master's thesis focus was on Gifted Learners and providing for them in the heterogeneous classroom setting. As a Gifted Facilitator for Aspen View, I enjoy developing critical and creative thinking skills and providing students with fun and engaging, hands-on activities that take minds to new levels!

 

I look forward to a wonderful year and cannot wait for the learning and magical moments to begin!
