Ciara Rear
Teams with Ms. Drapeaux
Hello,
My name
is Ciara Rear, and I'm delighted to be teaching language arts and social
studies to a wonderful group of sixth graders in Dzantik'i Heeni this year. I
have the privilege of working with a wonderful, welcoming team of teachers that
includes Jeannie Drapeaux, with whom I team teach.
I
completed a BA in English literature with a minor in psychology and German in
University College Dublin, Ireland.
I earned an MA in English literature in University College Cork,
Ireland. I am also a certified English as a Second Language teacher and prior
to moving to Alaska I taught ESL in two Irish schools. I completed an MAT
Secondary in UAS Juneau which included a student teaching internship in Thunder
Mountain High School.
I was
raised in Ireland and moved to beautiful Juneau in 2007. I either secretly
enjoy living in rainy places or am a glutton for punishment. I love traveling,
reading, writing, cooking (followed closely by eating), hiking, interior design
and art.
