My name is Sophia Mareczko and I am a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Speech and Hearing Sciences. I am originally from Skokie, Illinois, and I am interested in teaching in the northern suburbs of Chicago.
I knew I wanted to be a teacher after my own elementary school experiences where I was inspired by my own teachers who taught me the value of education. My goal is to make learning fun, accessible, and representative of all students who enter my class!

I believe all children have the potential to thrive in an educational setting and take on challenges, but in order for students to be successful, they need to see themselves reflected in the classroom. It is imperative that students can relate to what they are learning and more importantly feel as though they belong in their classroom space. Through the classroom community I create, students see various parts of their identities and cultures reflected in lessons and valued by myself and their peers. This fosters success and better learning outcomes for students, as they feel safe to explore and learn through trial and error! I want to instill a passion for learning inside every one of my students, which I believe I can do through my compassion and enthusiasm for education.

As a teacher, I believe it is my job to create a classroom environment where students feel accepted, comfortable making mistakes, and learn to be tolerant of differences. This way students can thrive, be creative, and take risks when it comes to their learning! The greatest influence I would like to have on my students is that they leave my classroom taking our class values along with them for the rest of their lives.
