Ms. Alison

Hello! My name is Ali, and I am an 8th-grade English teacher in Deerfield. My spark for teaching began after working as a camp counselor for many summers in various roles. I graduated with my bachelor’s degree from The University of Missouri in Secondary Language Arts Education.

Once I graduated, I accepted a position as a high school teacher in Columbia, Missouri. While there, I taught High School Civics and a literacy intervention class. I enjoyed working with high school students of all ages! After a year in Missouri, I moved back to Illinois to be close to family.

I recently completed my MA in Literature at Northwestern University and am beginning work for my ESL endorsement.

When I am not teaching or focusing on my studies, I coach Cheerleading and Poms. I have danced since I was young and enjoy choreographing. Additionally, I enjoy seeing plays and musicals, going to museums, skiing, and playing with my adorable dog, Flash.  

In my personal life and as an educator, I continuously strive for excellence and growth. I am passionate about building positive relationships and helping students discover their interests through reading, writing, and fostering collaborative discussions. I strive each day to empower independence and inquiry through hands-on activities and by providing students with choices. I am very excited to continue my career with JAM teaching and to have the opportunity to work with a wide range of students and build their confidence.
