Who in the world is Dr. Jim Allen?

 

This is a caricature of me in front of the Flat Iron Mountains in Boulder, Colorado. My favorite place to vacation!

While I'm in Boulder I like to spend time at the NCAR, National Center for Atmospheric Research. NCAR is also an architecture wonder. It was designed by I.M. Pei.
I'm the new Media Specialist in the Learning Media Center and Technology Teacher at Churchill Jr. High School.
I love teaching. I have attended many workshops and college courses in education. I have 3 degrees in education: I graduated from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville with a Bachelors of Science Degree and Masters of Science Degree in Education. In addition I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a Doctors Degree in Education.
I'm excited to be at Churchill Jr. High and look forward to a great successful year. Go Blue Streaks!
I have an interest in cartooning and how cartoons can be implemented into the classroom. A few years back I was a syndicated editorial cartoonist for the Chicago Sun-Times. Recently I have published two new books: How to Draw Cartoons and Full Moon over Meshugga G.
