Welcome to Kindergarten!
My name is Detra L. Dabney and I am so excited to be teaching in a co-teaching Kindergarten class this year! My co-teacher's name is Mrs. Valissa Johnson. We believe that all children are capable of learning and being successful in school. "It takes a village" is more than just a proverb. It is deeply engraved in our hearts and practices.
Now, here's a little bit about me! I have been teaching since 1993 in the Houston and surrounding areas. I have a Bachelor of Science in Home Economics-Child Development from Texas Southern University. My educational background also includes a Masters of Early Childhood Education degree from The University of Houston-Clear Lake and a Principal Certification. I have taught grades Pre-K through Third and part-time as a community college instructor. My hobbies include deep sea fishing, traveling, and reading.
