KRISTINE RASKOPF
RETIRED TEACHER
GREENVILLE CSD

Kristine Raskopf holds a Master of Science degree in Education and a Bachelor of Science degree with a concentration in Technical Theatre, both from SUNY New Paltz. She earned her permanent certification in the area of Special Education, K-12, and also holds a teaching certificate for Theatre. After many years of substitute teaching and tutoring for the Greenville School District, she began her first teaching assignment working in a bridge program with students with learning disabilities in grades 6-8. The following year, Kristine moved to the high school, working with 11th grade students in a Resource Room format. When the school district began offering the International Baccalaureate program, she was asked to offer courses in Theatre at both the standard and high levels. Kristine developed an upper level theatre course that could be taken for college credit. For over 20 years, she has proudly served as the Lighting Designer & Technical Director for theater productions at Greenville High School and Middle School.

The professional learning programs at Greater Capital Region Teacher Center have always been an integral part of Kristine’s teaching career, and the backbone of her continuing education. The rich variety of programs available gave her ample opportunity to deepen her knowledge and bolster her teaching skills, to best support her students. Kristine feels honored to serve as a policy board member and believes that now, more than ever, the Center is crucial in providing critical programs and learning opportunities for area educators. As a retired teacher, she continues to explore Greater Capital Region Teacher Center programs, and is currently learning about Google Workspace in an effort to support her return to work as a substitute teacher and tutor.
