4th Grade

Hello! My name is Ms. Kristen Grotegut, and I am very excited to be joining Brown International Academy this year. Over the last 18 years, I have taught 2nd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade. I spent two years teaching in Wrocław, Poland, two years teaching in Ankara, Turkey, and the rest of my teaching career has been here in DPS. I have a master’s degree in aesthetic education, a master’s degree in business administration, and a bachelor’s degree in psychology. My goal as a teacher is to educate and help foster caring, inquiring, life-long learners who have a sense of self and feel empowered to create, bring change, and spread compassion throughout our global community.

When I’m not in the classroom, I’m probably traveling the world, hiking, paddle boarding, reading, meeting up with friends or family for lunches, taking pictures out in nature, napping, or cuddling with my two cats, Freya and Phineas.
