Hello. I am Katherine Porter, and I teach 6-8 grade science. I have spent the last 14 years working in education including 8 years working with special needs students as a paraprofessional, and 6 years as the middle school science teacher here at Woodrow Wilson School. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time in my garden, and hanging with my cat Buddy. My teaching philosophy is all students are gifted in their own way, and we as teachers must help students discover and develop their gifts.
