Weisz, Jamie L

Welcome! My name is Jamie Weisz and I am excited to start my SIXTEENTH year as a special education teacher.  I am originally from Bismarck, North Dakota and I am a graduate of Mandan High School. I attended the University of North Dakota from 1997 to 2003 earning my B.S. in Elementary Education and M.Ed. in Special Education. In the summer of 2001, I furthered my educational and leadership skills by working at the U.S. Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama.  As a Space Camp Counselor, I had the privilege of instructing children of all ages, even adults, about the history of space exploration through lectures, hands-on activities, and space shuttle simulations. It was the best summer job, ever!  I spent my first seven years of teaching in Cadillac, Michigan (near Traverse City, MI).  It was hard to say goodbye to a school where I felt that I had made a true difference in my students’ lives. Accepting another teaching position at a middle school in Apple Valley, Minnesota, made the transition an easy one.  The past six years I have served as a special education teacher here at Coon Rapids High School teachingMath in a small group and co-teaching setting. Outside of school, I love to swim, bike, camp, fish, and travel.  I also enjoy attending concerts at the many venues Minneapolis/St. Paul has to offer.
