Hi, friends! My name is Brayden Langendoerfer, and I am a native of Jefferson City, MO. I attended the University of Missouri where I studied Middle School English Language Arts Education, as well as English, linguistics, and sociology. I recently graduated with my Master of Education in Learning, Teaching & Curriculum with an emphasis in Literacy Education from Mizzou, as well. I am now pursuing an MEd in Educational, School & Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in School Counseling.

This is my second year teaching; both of which have been at Thomas Jefferson Middle School. I have always had a strong passion for education, and I truly believe learning is an incredibly important endeavor. I really appreciate books and films because of what we can learn through them; being able to explore various worlds can teach you about yourself and others.

Outside of teaching and learning, I love spending time with family and friends, trying different coffee shops, and exploring different cities. Also, I am a huge fan of escape rooms; I have passed 15 different rooms with plans to try more across the country. This year I will also serve as the Assistant Coach for Speech & Debate.

Lastly, communication is one of my top priorities. If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

I am so looking forward to learning with you!
