Hello!  Welcome to my page!  My name is Scott Flanagan, and I am excited to be a 4th grade teacher at Cibolo Valley Elementary! This is my first year here, but I have teaching experience at the collegiate and elementary levels. I am excited to explore, learn, and have fun this year teaching all subjects.  My favorite subject is math, and I love having opportunities to read to my students as well.

I have an extensive background in music (opera, music theatre, sacred music, art song, and more), and am a professional vocalist.  I have performed in numerous professional productions and given vocal recitals that included songs in multiple languages.  I had the honor of performing on Texas Public Radio’s KPAC Broadcast, “Remembrance Day Service” in November of 2016.  As of late, I mostly sing at my church.  As much as I love music, I also love teaching.

I have known since high school that I wanted to be a teacher.  My incredible high school math teacher gave me opportunities to teach the class and support my peers.  I remember this overwhelming feeling of happiness to see my classmates be successful, and many of them asked me to tutor them in math after school. Since then, I have always been teaching a variety of subjects. Last year, I was the Talented and Gifted Teacher of my campus for grades K-5.

In my opinion, it is important for a teacher to teach how a student learns instead of a student learning how a teacher teaches.  One of my lifelong goals is to continue to better myself as a professional and educator.  I have learned so many things about myself and teaching over the past twelve years, and I am excited to put that experience to good use this year.
