Staff Highlight - Mrs. Victoria Koehler
I am a First Grade Teacher at Kings Road School. I absolutely love First Grade as I get to see so much growth throughout the year. First graders keep me young and on my toes. 1K is always a classroom filled with lots of learning and fun! I always make sure my students are my priority and help them with their social, emotional, and academic needs. I am also the PTA liaison, and I love working with the parents who are always so supportive of our teachers!
What are your qualifications to serve in your role?
I have been teaching First Grade for 29 years. This is my 19th year at KRS. I taught for 5 years in Rumson, NJ, and 5 years in Brooklyn, NY. I graduated from Union College in Schenectady, NY, with a BS in Psychology. I have a master's in Reading and Literacy from Bank Street College of Education. I also trained at the Teachers College Reading and Writing Institute.
What do you like about Kings Road School?
There are so many things to love about Kings Road. My coworkers are like my extended family. The camaraderie we share is really something special, and I feel so fortunate to have it. Obviously, my students become my children for the year, and I just love watching them grow. And, of course, the parents are such an important part of our school. I love getting to know families, especially when I have all their children in my class.
What is your favorite book?
This is a hard one, as I love so many books (if you’ve stepped foot in my classroom, you would know that). I love reading The World According to Humphrey aloud to my students. It is such an enjoyable book for all. The classroom hamster entertains us, and we have such great discussions about friendship and classroom community. We also have a giant stuffed Humphrey with whom children can curl up and read in class.
What do you like to do when you are not at Kings Road School?
When I’m not at school, I love spending time reading and doing jigsaw puzzles. I enjoy spending time with my husband and two sons (when they’ll have me). I spend a lot of time watching my youngest son play volleyball. We love to spend time at the beach in LBI and Cape Cod. We are heading on an adventure to Copenhagen to visit my oldest son, who is studying abroad. This year, I joined a choir called Women in Harmony. This has been on my bucket list for years. I get to sing show tunes with a group of amazing women. I love karaoke, and my students will tell you how much I love to sing in class.
