Crissy Pratt, M.Ed., NBCT
Passionate about Education and Family
I am a lifelong educator who has devoted my career to delivering high-quality instruction and developing curricula designed to meet the needs and challenges of all students. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, a Master of Education in Instructional Technology, and am a National Board Certified teacher, as a Middle Childhood Generalist, an honor bestowed to fewer than 3% of teachers nationwide.
I taught in Title I schools in low-socioeconomic areas outside of Washington DC, working as a grade-level chair and head of the science department. I also led school improvement teams, safety committees, and was chair of the behavior management committee. During my teaching career, I worked to deliver high-quality engaging instruction to underperforming students, successfully increasing test scores and performance significantly.
In 2009, I transitioned to curriculum development, creating and implementing a financial literacy curriculum in Baltimore City for Johns Hopkins University. In 2010, I began working in the field of online education, first developing curriculum, then creating instructional multimedia, managing teams of instructional designers, and most recently serving as the Director of Curriculum for an international online school. I have recently accepted a position developing instructional multimedia.
I moved from Maryland to Guilford County in 2015 and reside in High Point with my husband Kevin, my children Sam (sophomore at the Middle College GTCC Greensboro), Josh (High Point Central IB program graduate), and Hannah, and our 3 dogs and 3 cats. I enjoy spending time outdoors, playing board games, volunteering with my church, and hanging out with my family. I also care for my elderly parents - my father is bedridden and my mother was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
