RM: 和这里的许多其他教员一样,我也是买球APP修士。 我1996年毕业。 I then attended Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois, where I received my bachelor’s in elementary education. After teaching for a few years, I continued my education at the University of St. Francis in Joliet, where I completed two master’s degrees. 我获得了教学和学习的硕士学位,重点是差异化教学; and a master’s in educational leadership with my principal’s endorsement. 然后我决定在奥罗拉大学继续我的教育,在那里我开始了我的博士学业。 这就是我现在所处的位置。 I have decided that I don’t currently want to pursue being a superintendent, so my dissertation process is on hold. 我目前正在进行研究,以完成我的博士学位,我将更多地关注教育咨询和学校董事会的发展。
What did you do prior to coming back to Fenwick?
RM: 在加入足球买球之前,我的经历包括在公立学校系统中担任许多不同的角色。 I have done everything from teaching elementary and middle school to being a dean of students/academic advisor, and an assistant principal – all at the elementary/middle school levels. 我经营过辅导项目、学生发展项目、课后辅导服务,还担任过篮球、田径、摔跤和垒球的助理教练和总教练。
你现在喜欢读什么书?
RM: 我家里有一个七岁的女儿,我经常和她一起读书。 我刚刚向她介绍了《哈利波特》和《星球大战》,所以我们读了这些故事的几个不同的印刷版。 和她一起读书和做事对我来说是纯粹的享受。 Personally, I just started reading 黑人应该问自己的100个问题:一次坦诚的对话 by John Hall and J.D. Smith. 约翰·霍尔是我在足球买球APP的朋友。
RM: 我喜欢孩子! I haven’t forgotten what it was like to be a high school student. 我研究了当今孩子们面临的许多问题。 我密切关注孩子们必须面对的不断变化的社会结构。 此外,我喜欢建立界限。 I keep these things in mind while being the Senior Dean of Students and addressing/ improving/ implementing policy for the Dean’s Office to operate.
你工作中最喜欢的部分是什么?
RM: 最好的部分是看着学生成长为年轻人。 在这个过程中,你与许多学生建立了联系。 It’s a joy to see them walk the [graduation] stage and begin the adventure of who they want to be.
