Cathy Woodworth (SBCS '72)

I have been teaching for many years.  I taught first grade for 11 years and have experience with fourth grade as well as grades K – 9.  I have a Bachelors in Elementary Education from Purdue University and a Masters, Middle School Science Endorsement, an ESL License and a Reading License from Indiana University.

I am married and have three children, all of whom graduated from Saint Bartholomew.   All my children have graduated college.  I firmly believe that all children can learn and should be encouraged and supported to be all that they can be.  The sky is only the beginning. I love working with all of my students! They are all so very talented and special.  I really enjoy watching the light come on when they understand something. They are great kids!!!

As the Title III Teacher and a Title I Teacher at Saint Bartholomew School, I use research-based programs to help the children from Title I schools and those who are learning English as a second language.  I work with children, who are experiencing difficulties with math, reading, or literacy in other contents areas of the curriculum, gain needed skills and proficiency.  I provide intensified instruction by working with some students individually or in small groups, depending on the needs of the student and the academic environment. I enhance the grade-level curriculum by adapting it to meet the needs of the Title I  and Title III students. Occasionally, I will modify assessments and assignments to the learning level of the Title students.
