Mr. Young

Mr. Young is the 6th and 7th Silver Special Education Resource teacher here at MMS. This is his first year at MMS. Mr. Young Northern attended Northern Illinois University for both his bachelor of science and his LBS1 Licensure Special Education and Teaching. As a Resource teacher, Mr. Young will provide two types of services daily to meet the needs of his students. First is push in support (entering students in their core classes of Math, ELA, Science and Social Studies and working collaborating with both 6th and 7th silver core teachers) second form of support consists of pulling students out during our Enrichment/Intervention block. This is a great opportunity to connect and work closely with students on their IEP goals and provide targeted instruction in a small group setting.

Mr. Young lives in Woodstock with his wife, two children and two dogs. He enjoys everything Wisconsin has to offer with the exception of the Green Bay Packers, that is a line he just can't cross. It is Chicago Bears all the way! Mr. Young also enjoys all types of music, and watching true crime, paranormal and history shows.

About Mrs. Stirsman:
Teaching is not what I do it's who I am. I have been teaching at MMS for 27 years and it just keeps getting better. My passion is inspiring students to challenge themselves to strive for their personal best. All I ask for is effort, and you will do great in my classes. My philosophy is simple; everyone can and will learn in my classes. We have many laughs along the way, but we always get down to business. I hope you are looking forward to a great year. Middle school is a time in your lives that brings many positive opportunities, so take advantage of the activities here at MMS too. Enjoy your sixth-grade year on our team!
