Ms. Vicky Ingrande
Kinder Teacher Sub
Ms. Vicky holds a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and a Master’s Degree in Elementary
Education from the University of Phoenix. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Clinical
Psychology from San Francisco State University. She is adamant about students receiving
rigorous instruction in the early years so that they have a strong foundation to build upon as they
progress through the grades.
She is born and raised in the city and county of San Francisco. She began her path to teaching as
a parent many years ago as a volunteer in her children’s kindergarten classrooms in Oakland
Unified School District. From there, she was hired as a long term substitute and worked as a
long term substitute teacher for several years. In addition to working in Oakland Unified, she
has worked in San Francisco Unified and another charter school in Richmond. She has also
taught kindergarten for a couple of years in private school. She has taught both General and
Special Education students. Before entering the world of teaching, she worked with youth and
adults in social service settings. It was here that she learned that many people across many
groups were lacking basic literacy skills. Eventually she realized that she could better serve
these populations by teaching them to read and write. When the opportunity presented itself, she
switched gears and joined the world of teaching.
She is the mother of two adult children and enjoys the simple things in life. In her spare time she
enjoys gardening, reading, cooking, baking, and coming up with creative assignments for her
students. It is her hope and future goal to eventually transition out of the classroom and into a
school leader/admin role.
