Welcome to the Palos East ALPS website. I’m Rebekah Askeland, the
ALPS Teacher, and I am so excited to be begin the school year! This will be
my second year at Palos East. Previously, I worked with gifted students in
Wheaton, IL, and through the Worlds of Wisdom and Wonder. I am passionate and
enthusiastic about working with students on higher level thinking, problem
solving, and technology projects. This year proves to be a very exciting
year, as we will be working on Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling as part of
the Zero Waste Grant won by last year’s 5th Grade ALPS class! I grew up in Bolingbrook, Illinois, where I began my first
experiences with gifted education. I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Music –
Voice, from Illinois Wesleyan University, and worked for several years in a
variety of positions. While I still enjoy participating in musical endeavors,
such as singing with the Chicago Symphony Chorus and the Grant Park Festival
Chorus, I really felt motivated to share my love of learning. I received my
Master of Arts with Distinction in Education from North Park University. Should you have any questions or need to contact me, please call
Palos East at 708-448-1084 ext. 3548 or email me at the following address: raskeland@palos118.org. |
