My name is Jorge Urzua. I teach dual-language math at Valor Middle School at the Woodburn School District. Last year I taught 7th grade, and this year I also be teaching 7th grade, along with one period of Algebra 1, which I am really excited about. Teaching in Woodburn is of particular significance for me because I am a graduate of the Woodburn School District. Along with taking Summer courses, I spent the season traveling locally. Below is a picture of my first time at the dunes in Florence - very fun! I also visited Boise and McCall in Idaho. I came away impressed by scenery in both cities.

Hello everyone. I was born and raised in Salem, but I spend most of my  time up in Portland now. I went to OSU and got a degree in Business Management. Afterwords I became an AVID tutor and that sent me down the path of becoming a teacher. The highlight of my summer was getting engaged on top of Black Butte.

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a relaxing summer and are excited to start your student teaching placements.

As most of you know by now, I am an advanced math teacher at the high school level.

I spent my summer teaching summer school, accepting a position at another high school, moving to a new city, going on multiple out of state trips for work and leisure, and renovating my parents' garage. I love traveling, playing basketball, kayaking, cooking, spending quality time with family, and so many other things. Last but not least, I am getting two French bulldogs soon, and I could not be more happy about it!

Below is a cheesy Space Needle picture of my boyfriend, Carlos, and I from this summer.

My name is Teresa Wydronek and I live in Corvallis with my husband and two grown children, Cassie and Jacob. I received my Bachelors in Psychology from Western many years ago. Although I had a busy summer with my classes and teaching summer school, I was able to get away for a camping trip in the Wallowa's. It is a beautiful place. I have been an EA at Cheldelin middle school for 7 years, but I was recently offered a job as the 6th grade math teacher. Recently, like in the last few days!! I am overwhelmed but excited as well. I am looking forward to the new school year and all the craziness it is about to bring my way! This is a picture of my daughter and I at the fair.

Hello! My name is Eric Harder and I am originally from Bethesda, Maryland. I moved to Oregon for undergrad at Pacific University. After college I started coaching wrestling and substitute teaching which led me to discover my passion for teaching. I spent the last year working as a sub in the forest grove school district working primarily with middle school students. My girlfriend just got a job in Corvallis so we are currently in the process of moving and we are really excited to move to a new town. I am seeking my endorsements in Social Studies and ESOL. Here is a picture of my girlfriend (Nicki) and I at a friends wedding about a week ago! Can't get enough of the beautiful weather.

Every time I think I'm current on technology, you guys throw something new at me...so I hope I'm doing this right! I have a bachelor's degree in English and communications and now I'm focusing on language arts and journalism. I tutor full time at Tigard/Tualatin school district. I love baking and cleaning when I'm not hanging out with my husband and our families. My summer was spent overseas for the beginning and lots of camping trips at the end. The picture below is me (left) with my little sister in law (right) on the Rock n Roll at Oaks Park, just as the ride was starting!

I am currently the Physical Education teacher at Gervais High school, entering my second year. I spent 12 years prior coaching college baseball, first as the head coach/adjunct instructor at Chemeketa CC and then 7 as an assistant at the University of Portland.  I live in Hubbard with my family and the two highlights of my summer are the family trip to DisneyWorld and winning the State Legion Championship.
That is a picture of my family after the state championship game. I coach with my brother and my Dad is the head coach. Left to right; my brother, sister in-law, myself, my daughter, my wife, mom and dad. Dad just finished his 31 year at the school we all graduated from and the field in the pictured is named after my grandfather, so it is very special moment for my family.
Is that Enchanted Forest?

Hey Everybody,
I'm Matthew and I am currently part time faculty at Oregon State University and Linn Benton Community College. I have been teaching photography and digital art classes at the college level for 4 years now and will continue this into the fall term. I have been living in Salem for the past year and before that I lived in Iowa City, Iowa. I do not miss the extreme colds (or heats) of the midwest. I play Ice Hockey in Eugene on Sundays so I'm excited that we do Monday to Monday in this class. First game of the season is this weekend. This summer I taught some workshops which were fun and worked on some of my own artwork. Here is a picture of me that I like to use for things. Also I'm going to guess that there is a forest of enchantment behind you in your profile picture Rachel.

Hi I am Lauren Brouse and hopefully I am posting this correctly. My focus is in English Language Arts although I have been thinking about getting endorsed in Special Education after this program as well. I coach soccer and track in Salem, and I am looking forward to starting my student teaching. The highlight of my summer was going to Colorado to visit some old college friends and hike in the Rocky Mountains. Your family picture looks like it was taken at good old Enchanted Forest! Looking forward to this class.
