Diverse Learner Teacher, Room 303B

Hello! My name is Rebecca Leng. I grew up in southern California. In college I majored in Sociology & Literature. After I graduated college I got tired of the perfect weather and made the wild decision to move to Chicago to complete my Masters in Special Education. I am a new mom of a beautiful baby girl. I love to read, bike, travel, go hiking, play with my cats, and eat yummy food! 

I have been an educator in Chicago Public Schools for the last 10 years and have been teaching here at Cameron since 2018. I have taught all grades and subjects, but my favorite subject to teach is reading! I am very passionate about giving students the supports they need to succeed, while also working towards students being able to independently advocate for themselves.

 

I currently co-teach with the wonderful Ms. Sykes for 4th grade reading & math and the beautiful Ms. Addington for 8th grade science. We work hard to make sure all students in our classrooms have a voice, feel safe, understood, and cared for.
