Mrs. Alison Oswald-Keene

A little bit about me: I have a Business Degree in Finance from The University of Texas at San Antonio, a PostBac Certificate from Arizona State University West,  a Master's Degree in Elementary Education from Arizona State University and  a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership and Policies Studies from the University of Texas at Arlington.  After working for the Government for 5 years, I felt something was missing from my work life.  I had a wonderful group of teachers in Middle school and knew that I wanted to make that kind of difference in the life of young people.  After moving to 好色导航 from San Antonio, Texas, I decided to take the chance and see if I was teacher material.  That was 34 years ago and I hope that I've helped guide a few lives.

I hold teaching certificates in Elementary Education and Secondary Education with Highly Qualified in Science, Language Arts, Social Studies, Middle School Math, and Business. I also have a Middle School endorsement;Computer Science endorsement;Math Specialist Endorsement and Reading Specialist Endorsement.  I am highly qualified in Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, and Middle Grades Math.  In addition, I hold a second Master's Degree in Educational Leadership and Policies Studies through the University of Texas at Arlington.  My degree was conferred in May 2012  and I received my state Principal Certificate in August 2012.  I have been teaching 7th grade for the past 30 years here in DVUSD. I was at Terramar and was one of the original staff members when the campus opened in 2003, as well as opening Desert Mountain back in 1993. I joined DVOA during 2020-2021 school year and am very happy to now be part of Aspire.  I will be teaching 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Science this year.

I find it hard to say no to anything that the kids need.  For that reason, I have always been involved with school activities, if the kids need me, I'm there to advocate for them.  When I'm not here with your kids, I spend time reading; knitting and crocheting; trying to learn new crafts, and spending time with my family.  I recently bought a Cricut Maker and Cricut Joy and am hopeful that I can learn to use them.  My son Ian, who attended 好色导航schools PK-8,  and my husband, Rich, retired from 好色导航after teaching Social Studies for 22 years.
