Welcome,
       My name is Sheilla Norton. I am a life-long learner who believes in the power of education. My goal is to become an innovative, enthusiastic teacher and technology leader in the K-8 setting who continually looks for challenges and new learning opportunities. I wish to instill in my students a passion for learning which is a philosophy I hold dear.

I have a B.S. in Elementary Education with a middle school endorsement in Math and Science from St. Cloud State University. From this same university, I also hold a graduate certificate in instructional technology for which I completed a technology coordinator internship at Isanti Middle School. Finally, I hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of MN. My goal for the future is to become a technology leader and earn a Masters in Information Technology.

       My philosophy of teaching incorporates integrative, authentic learning and assessment that centers around students. I believe that the team of teachers, administrators, community, parents, and the student are necessary for effective education and development of our future community. I also believe that technology integration, higher-ordered thinking, and multicultural perspective, is essential for students to function in a future global society.

       My 10 year goals include teaching in the upper intermediate to middle school level, and moving into or in conjunction with a technology leadership position.
