Hello! My name is Stephanie and I am just about to complete my second year of teaching! I am secondary certified from Michigan State University with a major in Spanish (I actually took undergrad classes with Dr. Bale!) and a minor in mathematics. I completed my internship at Waterford Mott High School in 2011 and got hired in with Rochester Community Schools for the 2011-2012 school year. At first, I was in a split position between Rochester High School and Van Hoosen Middle School, but this year I am a full-time middle school teacher. I also coach track, am the Eco Club sponsor, and run an after school "tutoring" program called Homework Help. I just started the MATC program in the fall of 2012 and this will be the third class I have taken, so far. I look forward to working with you all and learning about incorporating technology in my classroom!
