Meet Our Moderator, Julie Buzza

Julie.jpg

The 2020-2021 school year will be my 21st year in education. After two years of teaching in Battle Creek, Michigan, I moved to Chicago Public Schools and taught for six years at Robert Healy.

In 2007, I started at NBJH as a 7th grade core language arts teacher. For four years I served as the junior high's literacy coach, and then I decided to return to the classroom- which I love! After a few years as a 7th grade advanced language arts teacher, I decided to make the move to 6th grade core language arts. After three years in 6th grade, I have moved into this new role as an elective teacher. I am looking forward to teaching all three grade levels in the junior high and to adding more literacy experiences for our students to compliment the standards addressed in the language arts classes.

I am a graduate of Eastern Michigan University and National-Louis University. I renewed my National Board certification in 2015 and earned my Apple Teacher certification in 2019.
