“What a privilege it is
to have this opportunity to work with your children using this amazing
Harbor School Method!! Hi, my name is Ann Tschikof (that’s “chick-off”) and
this is my 5th year teaching 6th grade at Compass. After living on both
coasts (as well as in between) and completing a BS (elem ed, spec ed, and
bilingual ed) and master’s degree (Ed Psych/LH credential), I moved to Boise
with my young family in 1993. I love Idaho and am blessed to be able to call
it my home. I live in Meridian with my new husband, Randy (as of July 2007),
my two very active, athletic and academically successful kids (Kelly, 20,
BSU student and Tyler, 18, playing college soccer in Walla Walla) as well as
my 3 dogs. Throughout my 28-year career, I’ve taught three-year-olds through
college students, in regular and special education, and worked 11 years as a
school administrator. I absolutely LOVE teaching 6th graders and look
forward to a tremendous year at Compass Public Charter.”
