Jodee Blair, Language Arts Teacher This is my 23rd year of teaching Language Arts. I taught seven years in Sioux Center, Iowa, and have spent the past 16 years teaching at St. Cloud Tech. During my years in Iowa and in Minnesota, I have had the opportunity to teach 9-12 grade Language Arts of all levels, advise the yearbook and newspaper, coach dance, and coach track. This year, I am teaching Pre-AP Language Arts 10 and European literature and Communications (LA12). I am also co-advisor of Link Crew (a mentoring program for Freshmen) and am the advisor of The Montage, the school newspaper, which is now available online on Tech's home page. Philosophy of Education: I have always believed every child can learn. The key is finding the way which works best for that child. I hope all of my students go on in their educations knowing I have provided them with the tools to succeed.
