"We learn by teaching." - James Howell
Alison Candela
Welcome to my e-portfolio! I earned my Master of Education in Elementary Education from DePaul University in June 2012. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
Teaching, for me, is a passion. I believe I have been called to the profession. I enjoy spending time with children and am excited to share my love of learning with the students in my own classroom. Through my experiences at DePaul I am drawing on life experiences, my time in non-profit management, and course experience (including work in the field) to prepare for a career in education.
My student teaching experience in Chicago Public Schools at Dr. Jorge Prieto Math and Science Academy provided me with a rewarding and challenging experience. I am prepared for a classroom of my own!
Enjoy exploring my portfolio! Please contact me with any questions. Thank you.
