About Me
Hello! I am Mr. Dauernheim but I'm not going have you try to pronounce that so Mr. D is cool with me! I am incredibly excited to be a part of the 5th grade team at BCE this year! I promise a 100% effort to help everyone at BCE THRIVE!
Prior to my time at BCE, I was a wrestling coach at the school I graduated from back home in Pennsylvania for 9 years. I worked with students elementary through high school. It was an amazing experience and I loved giving back to the community I grew up in. My interactions with students proved time after time how amazing the next generation is. It is an honor to a part of their journey to adulthood. While doing that, I completed an Associate's degree in Social Sciences from HACC and a BA in Communications at Penn State University. I became a certified teacher through the Texas Teachers program. This year, I will be completing the year-long Central Texas Writing Project course. I moved to Austin 3 years ago and love my new home. I really appreciate being surrounded by so much culture and interest in the arts. Austin is friendly, helpful and welcoming and I hope to create this atmosphere in the classrooms I will be a part of. When I am not at school, I am a pop culture buff, especially anything dealing with superheroes or sit-coms. I believe the next generation of students is capable of doing amazing things. I look forward to being their ally throughout their 5th grade year and beyond! |
