Mrs. Deldreqka Scott

Welcome to Second Grade at Cartersville Primary School!  Your child has been assigned to grow as a reader, writer, and mathematician in Mrs. Scott’s Class this year!  I am excited about spending the year with you and your child.  I will work hard in continuing your child’s positive educational journey.  I would like to take this opportunity to give you some understanding and background about myself!

My name is Deldreqka Scott, and I am in my 24th year of teaching.  I have taught Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade for all but one year.  During that year, I was responsible for K-5 Instructional Support. I was named the Cartersville Primary School Teacher of the Year in 2015. This year, I am excited to add that I am back to being a full-time traditional 2nd grade teacher after working with the Cartersville Virtual Academy as the 2nd Grade Teacher as well as teaching Traditional 2nd graders! I am excited to continue this journey with your family!

I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood at the State University of West Georgia in 1998.  I completed my Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Classroom Leadership at Kennesaw State University in 2005.  I completed my Specialists Degree in Curriculum and Instruction through Piedmont College in June 2018. My husband and I have 5 children, all girls, whose ages are 29, 26, 25, 15, and 13. I also have 4 beautiful grandkids!

I will work hard in order to provide your child with wonderful learning experiences. I take my career in education very seriously and choose to spend many hours outside the classroom preparing instructional materials and activities.  I have a strong personal philosophy of education, part of which I will share below.  

I believe that it is important to help develop each child into a strong lifelong learner.  In order to accomplish this goal, children need to be guided in these areas:

• Ownership:  To motivate children to feel that they are in control of their learning, not just trying to please others.
• Risk taking:  All people have different levels of risk-taking willingness.  I will work hard to help my students allow their natural curiosity and academic risk-taking to bloom so that they grow as self-starters in the learning process.
• Flexibility:  All children are not alike.  I have a class of individual learners.  It is important that I am always flexible with their emotional and intellectual growth.

I am excited to get to know you all better!
