 My name is Jamie Boehmer. I was born and raised in Eagan, Minnesota. I have wanted to

be a teacher for as long as I can remember. In my youth, I went to Red Pine Elementary, Dakota

Hills Middle School, Eagan High School, and finished out my high school years at the School of

Environmental Studies. I attended Winona State University and pursued my passion for teaching

as an elementary education major with minors in child advocacy studies and reading instruction.

I have always dreamed to be the teacher students remember as making a positive difference in

their lives.

Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by children. My mom ran a daycare out of our

home. Initially I saw the daycare as a constant opportunity to play with friends; as I matured, it

became an opportunity to teach and do projects with the pre-K children. After graduating from

high school, I encountered new opportunities. I was a nanny for two young boys my first summer

of college. Following that summer I began my work as a teacher in the school age classroom of

New Horizon Academy in Eagan. While in Winona, I had many fun experiences including

working at Miller Mentoring which is a one-on-one mentoring program unique to the area. I

worked as an Assistant Program Coordinator at Miller Mentoring for a year; additionally, I

mentored a maturing young girl for 3.5 years. Winona State University offered many

opportunities to work in the field. My experiences include work with kindergarten, first, second,

third, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth graders. I have taught health, math, science,

social studies, physical education, reading and language arts lessons. The ability to have all of

these experiences is truly a privilege and I gained insight into effective teaching practices. My

passion for teaching has further solidified during my time at Winona State.

To better teach my students, I maintain a positive attitude. I firmly believe one can

choose to see the good in a situation. Positivity can be very contagious; if my passion and
enthusiasm can encourage my students to be more excited about learning then I am truly doing

my job. In addition, I love doing crafts. I am nearly constantly doodling. I hope this will

transform my classroom into a bright, colorful, unique place that fosters an exciting learning

experience. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing sports like soccer and volleyball, and

learning to cook new things. I also frequent my cabin which is near International Falls,

Minnesota, where I fish, hunt, hike, and relax.

The largest take-away from my education and field placements at Winona State is

ensuring I make the time to learn about my students and their prior knowledge. This

encompasses the student’s background as well as parent involvement and cooperation; learning

about their family’s values, hobbies, and thoughts can make my responsive classroom all the

more inclusive and effective. Being able to mold the curriculum to the needs and interests of the

students will allow me to better teach my students. Classrooms accommodate a myriad of

individuals and talents, and they must be adjusted accordingly. Sensitivity to all types of

diversity is incredibly important. I want to be the type of teacher that takes on any challenge that

comes my way. My classroom will accept any ethnicity, social class, ability, and sexual

orientation.

I want to make a positive impact on my students’ lives; I hope they feel I made a

difference in their life when they reminisce on being in my class. Reading is an essential skill

that students need for most aspects of their education; I thoroughly enjoy reading and am excited

to inspire my students to feel the same. Additionally, I have a passion for math. I find math to be

incredibly fun and I love teaching it. I hope to lead my students on to a road of curiosity and

discovery and I will continue to strive for fun, creative ways to spark their interests in learning.
