Fontbonne Past, Present, and Future

by Ann February 20, 2012

I graduated from Fontbonne in May 1998 with a B.A. in Communications and Theatre. I always kept in touch with Deanna Jent and in 2010, I decided to come back and get my Masters in Theatre Education.  I had worked in Corporate America for awhile and found it was not fulfilling for me. I thought [...]

Why Deaf Education

by Jennifer February 20, 2012

“Why did you choose Deaf Education?” is the second most-asked question behind “what made you decide to go back to school?” Well I have always loved education, and years ago, I almost went back to school to be a teacher. The thing that stopped me however was the system of it all in terms of [...]

Why Art?

by Lizzie February 16, 2012

Would you like to know my major? Well, tell me what you think! I am a Fine Arts Major, and I’m also planning on doing Education as well. I’ve been drawing ever since I was about 5 or 6 years old. Boring, right? Not quite. As the years came by, I began to open myself [...]

Why I chose Fontbonne

by SheRon February 13, 2012

I was working as a substitute at a neighboring high school. While there I met a true friend who was filled with resources. She was a retired Special School District teacher who was asked to become an Occupational Therapist. She would constantly say I should return to school to obtain my certification, to which I [...]

Philosophy of Education

by Alumni Posts October 10, 2011

So I’m taking a course called “Philosophical Foundations of Education,” and one of the assignments is this big essay on my personal beliefs and values when it comes to teaching. It’s not due yet, but I figured I’d do a little brainstorming here anyway. My Philosophy of Education is centered around the phrase “It’s up [...]

Hi! I’m a city girl that lives in a small town near Kansas City. I am blessed to be married to my hubby for 17 years and have two awesome kiddos. I went to Northwest Missouri State until my early twenties and have always regretted not finishing my degree in education. I have prayed that [...]

Learning Through Experience

by Alumni Posts September 26, 2011

So I’m currently taking a course called “Introduction to Classroom Teaching” and let me just say, it has done nothing but confirm to me that I was meant to be a teacher. It delves into the psychology behind classroom management and the different theories of how the mind develops through a child’s school years. But [...]

Hey, Hey, the School Year’s Back

by Elizabeth September 12, 2011

Welcome to another school year, everyone! I hope your summer went well, and that you’re making a smooth transition into the academical world. (Is that a phrase already, or did I just coin something here? Somehow, I don’t think it’ll catch on.) My summer was great, and I miss those days sorely.  I worked at a high school in [...]

“OOP”s…I Did It Again

by Elizabeth April 13, 2011

Registered for a great semester again, that is!  And if you weren’t tipped off by the oddly-placed quotes in the title,  ”OOP”s is a pun:  I’ve signed up for a class on Object-Oriented Programming – OOP. I humbly admit that a joke’s not funny if it needs a detailed explanation to accompany it.  Maybe I [...]

Liz- Teaching Towards A Global Perspective

by fontbonneuniversity April 22, 2009

Classes I will miss the most: Though Fontbonne’s education department gives a lot of work, I will miss “Teaching Toward a Global Perspective” the most. This class was hard work but definitely taught me to reexamine and be more aware of the perceptions I get of others and how I act on a daily basis. [...]
