We are starting something new on the AFIA blog to help you learn more about the team of dedicated individuals who make AFIA such a special community beginning with Asha Moore. Asha was recently featured on the Teach Kansas City website. Asha holds two degrees from the University of Missouri – Kansas City: a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education, Institute for Urban Education, 2009 and Masters of Arts in Educational Leadership, 2012. She is currently a KC Plus Resident and is working on her Educational Specialist degree at UMKC.
Asha, tell us a little bit about yourself!
What do you do at AFIA?
Dean of Students
What do you love about AFIA?
I love the irreplaceable, warm and inviting feeling you get every time you walk through the door. Every adult in the building wants what’s best for each child. AFIA is a community of educators who are more than just co-workers, but a family dedicated to seeing every child succeed.
What drew you to education?
My personal education experience, but also as a child I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. I was the kid who played school all the time.
What is the best part of your day?
When I get to have a personal one on one conversation with a student and I learn something new about them. I also enjoy in those conversations being able to instill a lifelong value to help them grow.
What is your favorite place in Kansas City?
Anywhere my family is!
What is your favorite book?
My favorite book at a child was Charlotte’s Web
What is a little known fact about you?
I model in fashion shows from time to time in Kansas City.
