Ms. Becky Gorman, GormanB@district279.org
Where did you go to school and what is your previous job experience? I am a graduate of Purdue University. My initial job was teaching first grade. Since then I have taught every grade between 1 and 12 except grades 2 and 3. What year did you start working at Park Center? I began working at PC in 1993. What is your teaching philosophy? To teach students new ideas, I need to connect the new to something the students already know. Working with a diverse student body I find making the "connection" for every student is a difficult task! Why did you choose your profession? Back in the day when I went to school, the fields open to women were basically nursing and teaching. I didn't like blood, so I went with the teaching! What is your favorite quote? A paraphrase of my favorite quote: "A student who doesn’t read is no better off than a student who can't read." In what room(s) can you commonly be found? Room 307 Advice for students going to college? Take the most challenging high school classes you can get! Biggest pet peeve? DISRESPECTFUL PEOPLE Sum up your career at Park Center in one word REWARDING! If you were required to find a different job than what you are currently doing, what would you choose? I'd like to try working in a bookstore or at Dairy Queen!
