Urbana Middle School
- Urbana Middle School is the only middle school in the Urbana School District #116 and has about 1050 students.
- I am an 8th grade teacher of emotional/behavior disorders and learning disabilities students.
- My career began in Peoria, IL with the Special Education Association of Peoria County where I provided learning disabilities services to elementary and middle school age students. There was a hiatus for having children and managing a maternity store in Ohio before I returned to Illinois and teaching. For five and a half years I taught content classes to special needs students at Champaign Centennial High School before coming to Urbana Middle School. I moved to a middle school setting because of my frustration at the number of special needs students who drop out before getting their high school diploma. It is my goal to provide learning opportunities to help my students be successful and graduate.
- Here are some places to visit to learn more about adolescents, inclusion, technology and support for special ed teachers, the latest national special education projects, some great stuff about Earth, and my favorite baseball team.
- Check out the activities for C&I 335.
