Kim Cantley

Hi! I’m Kim Cantley, a National Board Certified music teacher at a rural elementary school in West Virginia. I have 25 years combined teaching experience in the music, algebra and deaf and hard of hearing classrooms. I serve as an advocate for the West Virginia Music Education Advocacy Leadership Force, and I have been a featured educator for the West Virginia Department of Education’s COVID lesson hub for my “Chrome Song Maker Name Composition.” I was also featured by PBS in an episode of “Education Station” demonstrating how to use glasses and water to create instruments. My professional development instruction includes “Differentiating in the Algebra Classroom,” “Virtual Co-teaching,” “Innovation Team Review,” and “The Beat Goes On: Teaching Music Virtually.”! I have received more than $30,000 in grants during my tenure to promote student achievement and make music fun and meaningful for my students.
