Mr. Kristensen has taught ELL students K-12 for almost 25 years. He speaks 5+ languages, and also teaches Math. He has high expectations of all his students and strives to have his ELL students master their English skills before they enter middle school. Mr. K has lived and worked all over the world.

At Woodard Elementary School we have high expectations of all our students, and we focus additional support on our ELL students to help them master their Academic English skills and pass their WIDA skills test before matriculating from Woodard’s 4^th grade and moving into the more text intensive challenges at middle school level.
