My name is Heather Meyer.  I am a graduate of Illinois State University.  I graduated on May 13, 2006, magna cum laude, with a Bachelors of Science in Education.  I am endorsed in Middle School, Language Arts, and Social Science.

I began my college career in August 2002, by attending Illinois Central College in East Peoria, Illinois.  I took a variety of courses in order to earn my associate's degree in arts and science.  I then transferred to Illinois State University, ISU, in the fall of 2004. 

In the fall of 2005, I began interning with the Pekin Professional Development School.  I had the opportunity to participate in a yearlong internship in District 108.  While taking my methods courses, I was also spent eight weeks interning in a second grade class.  Then I spent the next eight weeks in a sixth grade class.  I returned to my second grade class to student teach for sixteen weeks with Mrs. Traci Craig.

I have always wanted to be a teacher because my teachers have always had a tremendous impact on me.  I am hoping to have the same impact on my future students.  I enjoy helping people, which has also led me to choosing this career.
