“You Must Be The Change You Wish To See In The World.” – Gandhi

Hello, and welcome to my page!  My name is Mallory Longley, and I am a graduate student at SUNY Oswego.  I have a Bachelor’s degree in History from SUNY Oswego with a focus in American History, and am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Curriculum & Instruction for Secondary Social Studies.  I will graduate in May of 2008.  I was born and raised in upstate New York, and I want to teach there as well.  I’m a down-to-earth girl and my favorite thing to do is spend time with family and friends.  I love to read, listen to music, travel, and be outdoors.  I am creating this weblog for Dr. Yang’s Edu 595: Portfolio & Synthesis Seminar course, and would like to use it as way to let potential employers learn more about me and about my teaching philosophy.  I have included a page discussing why I chose to be a teacher, a page about what makes a teacher great and why I think I will be a great teacher, and also ten pages that allow me to reflect on and show my understanding of each individual INTASC standard.
