Jon PatmoreUpper Group
Upper Group (Grades 4-6)
Jon graduated from Humboldt State University with a BA in English, and earned his teaching credential from Holy Names University in Oakland. He taught in public schools in the Hayward Unified School District and joined Walden in 1999, where he teaches in the Upper Group. He has been a member of the Walden Foundation since 2001.
Jon was drawn to Walden by the school’s multimodal approach toward learning. He attributes Walden students’ evident enthusiasm for their education to this approach. “Walden kids love to come to school,” he says, “because they have the chance to shine in a variety of ways.” Jon’s interests include reading, writing, art, design, music, science, and philosophy.
