=**Welcome to Jon Stern's TEED512 wiki page!!!**=

I am currently in the Master in Teaching program at Seattle University, and hoping to become a full fledged teacher by September 2012. I am a former lawyer and stay-at-home dad who is completely fired up to become a teacher, because quite frankly, I love to work with kids. They are incredibly fun and can have such a passion for learning and exploring new things. I am looking forward to working relentlessly to help my future students, schools, and school districts produce more engaged, responsible, and culturally aware students. I also hope that my students learn a ton from my classes and that they have a more positive attitude toward education after they leave my class. Most of my time not spent in class or teaching is spent with my family. When I do have free time, I like to play soccer, play tennis, ski, bike ride, read, and play guitar.

Here is a photo of me with my family. My wife is Judy, and sons Ian (age 8 at time of photo) and Noah (age 5 at time of photo).
