Professional Biography Karen Plummer
GermanBIOGRAPHY
Hallo! Ich bin die neue Deutschlehrerin bei Riverside! I've been teaching for over 15 years. I started teaching university German while earning my Master's Degree at the University of Arizona, and then did student teaching in German and English while still living in Tucson. In 2004, I moved to Virginia, and taught for Prince William and Loudoun Counties. I left Seneca Ridge and River Bend MS in 2012 to move to Beijing to teach ESOL and English. I taught students from China, South Korea, Kazakhstan, Thailand and Russia in grades 7-11, and tutored German on the side. What an amazing experience!
When I cam back from China, I worked for Fairfax County schools, but I'm so excited to be back in Loudoun! I look forward to working with everyone this year, growing our awesome German program and having fun in German Club and German Honor Society
