"I will fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. "(the voiceless) -Wonder Woman

My name is Devon Magness and I'm a 5th grade teacher at George C. Clarke Elementary. This is my 6th year at GCC and my 14th year in Education (Should be my 22nd but that story is for another day.) I've taught middle school math, Special Education (all spectrums) and 5th grade. I received my bachelors in Elementary Education at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma where I received a full ride scholarship to play basketball. I am a mother of 2, a 6th grader and a 7th grader, who were once GCC Cougars.

This year I have the opportunity to teach 5th grade Math and Science (A two tested subject!) No matter how this year plays out, I can promise my scholars will learn and overcome obstacles that come their way. I look forward to connecting with the students and preparing them for middle school. My philosophy in education is All Children are Teachable and Success is Built on Failures. Mistakes, if willing to accept, are opportunities for learning. The process might look different for each learner but fully capable for growth and relationships matters! Thank you for trusting us with your child's knowledge, safety, and well being. 2022-2023 will be an amazing year!
