About the Teacher

 

    

Current Photo     Welcome to the classroom website! My name is Jim Carver and I am part of the 4th grade team at Unity East, as well as the 4th and 5th grade enrichment teacher. I have had many great experiences working with students so far and love what I do.

     I hold a Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education from Illinois Wesleyan University and a Master's degree in Educational Administration from Eastern Illinois University.Since becoming a teacher I have continued my professional development by attending workshops and training, including the Illinois State Gifted Education and CRISS Teaching Strategies programs.

     I live in Urbana with my wife and have been in the area for many years. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors with my bicycle or kayak, working around the house, or spending time with family and friends. From time to time I like to enjoy a good book. My wife and I are involved with the youth group at our church and have enjoyed learning and serving alongside students. We love to travel, particularly to visit our family and friends all over the country.

    This section is a little information about who I am. More than who I am, however, I hope you know that I consider it a privilege to work with the students in my classroom and care deeply for their success both within my class and beyond. Thank you for visiting the website -- I hope you find it useful and visit again soon.

 

                                                                                                                Sincerely,

                                                                                                                Jim Carver
