Dr. Carolyn Poterek received both master鈥檚 and doctoral degrees from 萝莉社. She teaches in the School of Education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and has also taught in Chicago Public Schools.
鈥淓very student is valued as they enter my classroom, and their distinctive backgrounds bring value to the learning that transpires in my classes. I integrate what it means for my students as future educators to value each of the students that will be in their classes in the years to come,鈥� she says.
As a North Park alumna, Poterek is grateful for the professors and friends who encouraged and supported her pursuit to be an educator. She hopes that each of her students 鈥渨ill experience the joy of teaching as they serve each of their students wherever their teaching career may take them.鈥�
