About Mr. Gutzwiller
Hello and welcome to eighth grade social studies! My name is Chad Gutzwiller and I am very excited in getting to know and teach this year’s eighth grade class! The main purpose of this letter is to provide you with some background and contact information about myself.
I grew up in St. Leon, Indiana and currently reside in Brookville. In 2003, I graduated from Ball State University certified to teach world geography, United States history, and sociology from grade levels five through 12. I also have a computer endorsement pertaining to web page and educational software design. My computer background also includes working with adaptive technology for students with physical and learning disabilities. I attained my Masters of Secondary Education degree from Ball State in December of 2008. My hobbies include playing the piano, enjoying time with my family and friends, studying meteorology, and most importantly, meeting new people.
One of my main goals as a teacher is to establish strong relationships with the parents/guardians of my students. If you are on the district Listserv (e-mail), I will be e-mailing notes regarding class announcements. If you are not part of the Listserv and would like to receive the e-mails, please contact the office or check out the district’s web page at www.uc.k12.in.us.
There is a class web page to access announcements, resource links, and assignments. You can access all of the lessons/activities including links to PowerPoint presentations and handouts that are used in class. Go to www.uc.k12.in.us and click on Union County Middle School. Then, click on Grade Level and Departments. Finally, click on Eighth Grade and Social Studies. The class web page will be updated weekly.
You can also join my closed group on Facebook! Attached, you will find a Q/A sheet for why I incorporate this social media tool into my class. Simply search "Mr. Gutzwiller Eighth Grade Social Studies" and ask to join! It is another great way to connect and be involved in the class.
Also attached to this letter is a syllabus regarding how the class will be structured. Please read over the information and contact me if you have any questions or concerns either by e-mail ([email protected]) or by phone (458-7438 ext. 2168).
Again, if you have any questions or concerns regarding this information or the class, please contact me by e-mail or phone.
I look forward to a great year with all of you!
Sincerely,
