Mrs. Michael Whitaker

I have been teaching in Pittsburg for many years.  These years have been rewarding as well as a challenge. I wanted to be a teacher since the third grade.  I  feel my greatest accomplishments are helping not only students, but colleagues recognize their full potential.  You can often find me being a mentor to other teachers, a tutor to struggling students, a team leader for my grade level, all while doing my best to prepare students to leave school ready for the world.

I graduated from Pittsburg High School, went to college in San Francisco, and earned my teaching credential at Chapman University.  I came back to Pittsburg to give back to my community I was raised in.

To see students involved in their own learning is the greatest reward for me. I believe mistakes are accepted, but maximum effort is expected.  Teaching for me  is much more than a job.  This is my profession that allows me to mix my passion and skill.  Go Highlands!  I believe everyone can learn and I believe in you!

Under Important Information there is a link for studnets to find everything they need to be successful under Clever.  Please be sure to contact me with any questions. Email or ClassDojo is an excellent way to contact me. 

On the PUSD website under PUSD Distance Learning there is a link that explains Clever Information. https://www.pittsburg.k12.ca.us/Page/8349
