Kristyn Kamps
She earned her Bachelor’s in Education with minors in social studies and English from Calvin College and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction and an Instructional Coaching endorsement from Michigan State University. She has taught English, Social Studies, Science and Technology in Christian schools for almost 30 years. For the last eight years, she has served as a National Faculty Member for the Buck Institute for Education/PBLWorks, traveling and training teachers in project based learning. In addition, she has worked as an instructional coach for the last two years at Grandville Calvin Christian. Kristyn, and her husband, Tim, live in Grand Rapids, and have two adult daughters, Jessica and Jaclyn, and three grandkids, Will, Harper, and Evelyn. She firmly believes what happens in the classroom should be relevant, authentic, and directly connected to the world outside the classroom. Her favorite Bible verse comes from Romans 15:13: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
