Jakki Kydd-Fidelman started as an assistant teacher at
Bright Prospects in 1991 while the youngest of her four children were
still attending the school. Her background was in engineering; just out
of college she set up the first Proex photography laboratory. Once she
gained certification in early childhood education, she quickly moved
into the position of full teacher. Jakki brings a love of the outdoors
and a background in art and theater to her teaching. She is a certified
scuba diver and has led outdoor adventures for 20 years. She raises
turtles, lizards, snakes, pheasants, chickens, quail and various other
animals. She has also raised mallard ducks for the Department of Natural
Resources. She has taught art for 10 years, and directed children's
plays for 5 years. In addition to teaching at BPCP, Jakki also works at
Pratt School in Minneapolis , running the after-school program,
coordinating the service learning program, and coordinating their AAA
grant, and the SPCO Connect and MIA Art Adventure programs. |
