Mrs. Ann Baker
Personal Profile
I was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Most of my extended family lives in the Grand Rapids area, and I enjoy frequent visits to Michigan to visit my family. My husband, Rich Bakker, is a graduate of Timothy Christian School. Rich and I met shortly after I began teaching at Timothy. My husband and I enjoy walking our dog and biking together.
Professional Profile
I graduated from Calvin College. After Calvin I moved to Momence, Illinois to teach grades K-3 at Unity Christian School. During my four years at Unity, I completed a Master’s degree at Olivet Nazarene University. In 1987 I moved to Elmhurst to begin teaching first grade at Timothy. During my years at Timothy I’ve had the opportunity to teach grades one, three, four, seven and eight. Presently I am coordinator of the Impact program at Timothy.
Philosophical Profile
As a Christian teacher in a Christian school, I believe that it is my opportunity and my responsibility to use a variety of materials and methods to teach my varied students what it means to live in a Christian community while preparing them to live as Christian disciples.
