Welcome To Mrs. Bishop, Hawthorn Assistant Principal
Taking Dr. Todtfeld's place is Mrs. Bishop, who is coming to us from North Kansas City School District. She will serve as assistant principal at both Hawthorn and Graden. She began her career as a kindergarten teacher, and she currently serves as a teaching and learning coach in the NKC Schools. She coaches colleagues in student-centered instruction, and she leads professional development. She earned recognition through her demonstration writing workshop for both teachers and district leaders, she has written curriculum, and she represented her district in a leadership coaching academy.
Mrs. Bishop, who is a Park Hill School District alumna, received her bachelor's degree in education from the University of Missouri - Kansas City, and she received her master's degree in school administration from Northwest Missouri State University. She is currently working toward her doctoral degree in teaching and learning, with an emphasis in adult learning. Please help me welcome Mrs. Bishop! I am excited for her to meet our amazing Hawthorn community!!
