Welcome!
This portfolio is a collection of my graduate work in Curriculum Technology and Educational Reform (CTER) at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.
About Me
I am in my third year of teaching and have taught at all three middle schools in Champaign Unit 4. I taught Spanish at Edison and Franklin Middle Schools for the 2004-2005 school year and have just finished my first year teaching social studies at Jefferson Middle School on the Islands team. I feel at home teaching social studies at Jefferson, and now that I am comfortable with the curriculum, I would like enrich the lessons. I am looking forward to working on my masters degree in the CTER program at the University of Illinois and I hope to use what I learn to better integrate technology into the curriculum.
After graduating from Lockport Township High School in 1999, I came to Urbana-Champaign to attend the University of Illinois. I graduated over 2 years ago, but the town grew on me and it has been home for me for almost 8 years now. I like being near the University, even though I could complete this program from anywhere in the world. My distant plans do include moving back to the Southwest Suburbs of Chicago and possibly earning a Phd some day.
