My Portfolio
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.
