| Introduction | This is my second year as a 2nd grade teacher at Gwendolyn Brooks Elementary School. I spent my first two years at Brooks as a 5th grade teacher, but I am excited for the change. I graduated from North Central College in June of 2008 and I spent the following few years as a TA and substitute in District 204. My wife is also a teacher! She teaches 4th grade in Yorkville. Outside of school, I spent the last four years as a wrestling coach at North Central College. However, I recently accepted a coaching position at Waubonsie Valley High School, and I will be coaching there this year. I also spend a lot of time furthering my own education. I am currently completing a masters program at Aurora Univeristy in Educational Leadership. I am so excited to start back up this year, and I am looking forward to watching my class grow as students, children, and soon-to-be 3rd graders! |
