Elizabeth Ging
Second Grade

I began my teaching career in 2004 at Deer Creek Elementary School teaching 1st grade.  After two successful years at D.C.E.S., I am so excited to be a part of Rose Union! 

In 2003 I graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma with a B.S. in Early Childhood Education.  Upon graduating, I was honored with the Dr. Mari Scott award for outstanding undergraduate in the field of Early Childhood.  I am currently back at U.C.O. working on my graduate degree in Early Childhood Education.  It’s what I love!  

Teaching young children is a gift that I am thankful for each day.  My practice is theory as well as research based; focusing on students’ cognitive, social, and emotional development.  I love discovering new ways to motivate students, helping them to establish a life-long love of learning.

Being a member of and involved with professional organizations such as the National Association for the Education of Young Children and U.C.O.’s Early Childhood Advisory Committee helps me to maintain, develop, and continue learning current theory and practice in the ever evolving field of education.  In the past year I was invited to be a part of Oxford University’s round table discussions concerning education.  I plan on pursuing National Board Certification very soon.

When not at/in school, I enjoy spending time with my husband of six years and our daughter (who will be a D.C. Antler next year!).  Shopping, reading, and traveling the world are some of my favorite recreational activities.

I am looking forward to a wonderful year with all of our Deer Creek families!
