Hello! My name is Kathy Worsdale, and I’m the 4th Grade Track 3 teacher here at Laurel Park. I’m excited to be starting my third year with the 4th grade team. I hold a Master’s degree in Elementary Education, along with a Bachelor’s degree in Special Education and Physical Education.

In the classroom, I strive to create a warm, inclusive environment where students feel confident to take risks, ask questions, and share their ideas. I’m passionate about getting to know each child as an individual and designing learning experiences that help them develop strong work habits, take ownership of their learning, and grow into lifelong learners.

Outside of school, I enjoy reading and staying up to date with the latest educational research. Family time is especially important to me—I have four grown children and two wonderful grandchildren. In my free time, I love visiting family in New York and Wisconsin, or spending time at the beach or in the mountains of North Carolina.
