About The Teacher

Hello!  My name is Ms. Ryan and this is my fourth year teaching at 
Steinmetz.  I grew up on the south side of Chicago, and I absolutely love our 
city.  I went to Providence Catholic High School in the south suburbs and 
then attended Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN for my undergraduate 
degree.  I graduated from Purdue with a degree in secondary English 
Education.  I taught in Los Angeles for a summer and then came back to 
Chicago to teach the wonderful students in Chicago Public Schools. I adore 
the students at Steinmetz, and I couldn't imagine doing anything besides 
teaching and working with young people.  Some of my hobbies include reading, 
baking, exercising, and traveling. 

Mission

A quality education is the most prized gift in the world.  My classes aim to 
provide students with an excellent education.  In particular, I intend to 
make students more avid, fluent readers, writers, and critical thinkers.  My 
classes will encourage students to learn about themselves and the world 
around them through literature.  I also seek to engrain in each student a 
love for learning and a desire to become life-long learners.  I am completely 
dedicated to helping students succeed.  I am passionate about my students' 
futures and how they will reach brilliant conclusions.  I wish for my 
students to make transformational changes.
