Who I Am, What I Do
Welcome to the "About Me" section of the website. For a compacted version of what you see here, please visit the "To Parents" page. Let's get started.
My name is Jackson Kenneth Freeman and I am a graduate of Western Michigan University's Secondary Education program with teaching certificates for both English and Spanish classrooms. Language is my deepest passion and it is my dream to spread that passion and commitment for the written word to the generations of tomorrow.
I am originally from Northville, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, and was a student of the graduating class of 2012 from Northville High School (Go Mustangs!). Since my first few days at Western--Michigan's highest ranked college for education--I have been molding, tinkering, and improving my own pedagogical beliefs and practices to fit the image I have had of myself as an aspiring teacher; responsible, passionate, knowledgeable, and helpful. I am so excited and honored to have the opportunity to demonstrate my expertise and professionally develop my craft at this school.
