My name is Dawn.
I am proud to be a teacher today who is aspiring to be a better teacher tomorrow.
Where I’ve Been, Education-Wise*:
Ages 4-18: Central Wisconsin, small city, elementary through high school student
Ages 18-23: Undergraduate Degree (state school), BS in Education
Ages 23-28: South-Central Wisconsin, smaller city, English teacher, grades 9-12
Ages 28-33: Southeast-Central Wisconsin, bigger small city, Language Arts teacher, grades 6 & 8
Ages 33-41: South-Central Wisconsin, small (big-tourist) city, English teacher, grades 9-12 (concurrent time period: Graduate Degree, private university, MA in At-Risk Education)
Ages 41-42: Southeast Texas, gigantic city, English teacher, grade 11
Ages 42-43: Southeast Texas, suburb of aforementioned gigantic city, Reading and Writing Teacher, grade 8
Age 43: Current age! Woo-Hoo! Entering my 21st year as a teacher!
* This list is probably not mathematically accurate due to my aversion to and confusion with numbers. I am POSITIVE that I was 18 when I graduated, and I know FOR SURE that I am currently 43. Take the rest with a standard deviation of 2 years, plus or minus. See! I have no idea what I’m talking about mathematically. Sorry, AHS math teachers.
