My name is Deborah Ripoli, and I am Kindergarten teacher.  I earned my Bachelor of Arts from National Louis University.  I have 30 years of teaching experience and earned senior teacher status.

I have received Disney Teacher Nominations, and I belong to  Who’s Who Among Teachers . I am a member of the National Catholic Educational Association, and I am a member of ASCD.

Children are not only our future but our motivation to learn more.  I believe the following quote is accurate for teaching: “I See…I Forget, I Hear…I Remember, I Do… I Understand.”  Teaching children is an adventure that requires us to continue to learn and to stretch our brains on how to reach every child every day.
