ELA

I'm Mr. Spector, and this is my 2nd year of teaching at GMS, and my fifth year overall. I also student taught here around 15 years ago!  I am so excited to be here and to be working, once again, with the students of 7 Blue.

I attended the University of Kansas for my undergraduate degree, studying Political Science.  Additionally, I have a Master's Degree in Secondary Education from National-Louis University.

This year in ELA, we will be using the myPerspectives resource where the units of study, along with their essential questions, are listed below:

• • Unit 1: Generations - What can one generation learn from another?

  • Unit 2: A Starry Home - Should we make a home in space?

  • Unit 3: Turning Points - What can cause a sudden change in someone’s life?

  • Unit 4: People and the Planet - What effects do people have on the environment?

  • Unit 5: Facing Adversity - How do we overcome obstacles?

Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my wife, Kara, and my kids, Jane (7) and Gabe (6).  We also enjoy going to movies and seeing live theater together as well.
