Kristen Fett is currently a first grade teacher in Bloomington, Minnesota, and has been in the field of education since 2002. She received her bachelor’s degree in elementary education and communications and her master’s in curriculum and instruction. She has experience teaching kindergarten, first, third, and fourth grades, but her passion lies in working with primary-aged students. Kristen quickly developed a passion for Responsive Classroom practices after attending a one-day workshop in her school district and seeing the positive impact the approach had on her students and their families. She has been a consulting teacher for Center for Responsive Schools since 2014. In her spare time, she loves being with her husband and two young children, trying new Minneapolis/St. Paul restaurants, traveling, and watching movies.
