MR. PAUTZ
Teaching Experience I began teaching in the winter of 2014 after graduating mid-year. I was privileged to student teach and substitute teach in Wauwatosa, WI, for the 2013-2014 school year. This current position at Fox River Middle School has been my first full-time teaching experience, starting with the 2014-2015 school year. Education Experience I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education (6-12) and Mathematics from Wisconsin Lutheran College in January of 2014. Personal Information I am currently married to my lovely wife, Abby, who teaches Kindergarten at Trailside Elementary. We come each day from Muskego, WI, and really enjoy the area. We also welcomed our first baby boy this past March - Isaac. He's such a little boy already! I am a huge sports fan, love anything that has to do with outdoors and recreation, and truly enjoy teaching students about the importance of mathematics! This opportunity to be part of the REACH Program has really brought excitement to my life, as I learn with and for the students! |
