Hello.  My name is Michelle Doane.  It is a pleasure to serve your child here at CMS.  I love my job and am happy to have found this incredible community in which to work and raise my children.  I have been a teacher with CMS since 2000 and have been teaching since 1991.  I have two children who attend school at CHS and two dogs.  I enjoy reading, writing poetry and short stories, painting, exploring new music, hiking, taking photos, and traveling.  My family is working on seeing all 50 U.S. states before my youngest graduates.  We have fifteen states remaining.  

My philosophies on teaching could be easily summarized.  Every child is an individual with unique strengths and weaknesses.  Effective teachers must like children.  It is the responsibility of the teacher to know the content and to design lessons and activities that are challenging and are as interesting as possible.  It is the child’s responsibility to put forth best effort.  Creativity and humor are essential to any classroom.  Open and frequent communication between parents and teachers is in the best interest of the child.
