Kelly Darling
Science/Computer/Gym

My name is Kelly Darling and I have been an elementary educator for 12 years. I am currently The Brighton School’s Science, Gym, and Computer teacher. I received my Bachelor’s Degree from The University of New Hampshire and proceeded to receive my Teaching Certification from Framingham State College. I have several years experience teaching science at a private school specializing in gifted and talented education. My other teaching experience includes teaching first grade, second grade, and reading. In addition I have spent many hours volunteering at a strength and conditioning fitness camp for students of various ages.

I believe that children learn best in an environment that promotes discovery and hands-on exploration. The classroom should provide a sense of community and support for each student, allowing them to bring their unique talents and personalities into the classroom. I always strive to provide a classroom environment that is inclusive and accepting of all learning styles and encourages students to contribute, ask questions, and listen and learn from their peers as well as their teachers. In this way, students are able to flourish, to be proud of who they are as individuals, and to be successful in and out of the classroom.
