How to Thank a Teacher

Juan Medina

High School Art Teacher from Hoffman Estates, Illinois

I teach High School Art in the North West Suburbs of Chicago. Township High School District 211 is one of the largest districts in the state and is equipped with blue ribbon schools that are high performing and achieving.
I currently hold a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, MAED from Benedictine University and MA from National Louis University. I am the proud father of two and fear theirs will be an education that is stifled by a one size fits most approach to learning.
