About Me
My name is Terri Gibson. I have been a high school teacher in the state of Oregon for the past 25 years. Having grown up in a home with two educators as parents, I have always been drawn to the teaching profession. After testing the waters as a special education teaching assistant in Tucson, AZ, and completing a year running an after school tutoring program as an Americorps volunteer in Flagstaff, AZ, I was certain that the teaching profession was my path. After my first three years as a teacher in Clackamas Community College’s Tri-City Alternative Program, I quickly learned that education is not “one size fits all”. Through my experience in working with students who are considered “at-risk” at both Mt. Scott Learning Centers and New Urban High School, I began to fully understand the obstacles and barriers that many students face in learning. In continuing down the path of teaching students who are considered at-risk,I have honed my skills in working with students on a more personal level to attempt to remove these obstacles and barriers to learning. At the Clackamas Web Academy, I continue this work with students as both a science teacher and learning coach.
In my personal time, I enjoy being outside when possible. Whether it's a hike, a bike ride, stand up paddleboarding, or a nice walk through the neighborhood, I love to just reset my mind and body with these activities. I love to read and spend time with my family and friends. The picture below is of my husband and two sons at a New York Knicks Basketball spring break 2026, which was very exciting since they won the championship this year.
I look forward to my 19th! year as a science teacher at Clackamas Web Academy!
