Welcome to my online portfolio!
Hello! My name is Leah Sobecki. Upon graduating from Michigan State University in 2008 I earned a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a focus on language arts. Shortly after my student teaching experience I moved away from home to seek adventure and a position working as an educator on the East Coast. I am currently teaching 5th grade language arts and social studies at a Title I school in Hyattsville, Maryland. Prince Georges County is one of the most diverse school systems in the country and I have found that teaching fifth grade here serves me well. It has been an exciting and dynamic journey! In order to develop and keep up to date in my current practices I made the decision to continue on with my education. I chose to work on my graduate degree online through Michigan State University. I am proud to say that I will receive my Master of Arts in Education through the online MAED program in August of 2013. I am a true Spartan at heart!
"I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit." - John Steinbeck
