Earlsboro Public Schools

Mrs. Chesser teaches Pre-Kindergarten classes at Earlsboro Public Schools. She has been teaching since 1994, and has a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education and a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education from Oklahoma Baptist University. Chesser’s first experience as an educator was teaching French to first-grade students at Sequoyah Elementary as a Senior in high school. Chesser stated that this was when she became hooked.

Chesser grew up loving to learn and was greatly inspired by her Grandfather’s wisdom. Even before she could walk, he would carry her around and teach her about how crops were grown in China or how to ride an elephant while pulling logs in India. As Chesser grew older, he would tell her about the places he saw while serving in the US Cavalry and later as a naval officer in the Great War and World War II. Like her Grandfather, Chesser’s father instilled a love for knowledge and modeled serving others daily. He viewed teaching as a calling. Though her mother worked in early childhood, she helped Chesser to express her creativity. She would enroll her sister and herself in summer classes for painting, pottery, glazing, ink drawing on glass, wood burning, sewing, and so on, just to keep them learning. Chesser’s family helped her view the world as a lifelong learner, and that learning takes place everywhere, not just in the classroom.

Though Chesser enjoys the family atmosphere at Earlsboro, her favorite part is the preschools. Chesster stated, “There’s nothing more rewarding than the enthusiasm and love the students share. They create their own little family and teach me something new every day.”
