Connie Chene, Principal

I have been an educator for the past 42 years.  I began my teaching career in the Chicago Inner City and moved to New Mexico in 1973. As an educator I have been a classroom teacher in grades2-8, a university clinical supervisor of elementary student teachers and an elementary and mid-school  administrator as well.  I have also worked as an educational consultant and facilitator for the National School Reform Faculty, an initiative that supports the development of Professional Learning Communities in schools.   I have recently been a support principal to schools in New Mexico who have been in need of improvement.  I began working with Alice King School Community, formerly NACC, when it received its charter six years ago and have been supporting the principal and staff since then. I was born in St. Paul, Minnesota and live in the Nob Hill area with my husband, Roberto.  We have raised two wonderful children, Ana, who lives in Manhattan and David, who lives and works in Albuquerque.
