| Jeanne Reichert Developmental Studies |
With a way of making everyone feel comfortable and involved, Jeanee Reichert of Developmental Studies has a welcoming, laid-back demeanor that encourages students.
With minimal distraction, her office is warm and inviting, just like her personality.
Reichert teaches entry level developmental classes that benefit students new to college. These classes are designed teach college and study skills, reading and writing.
In her teaching environment she wears that great smile of hers, making everyone feel at ease. When speaking with students, she treats them as an equal and relates to their ideas and thoughts.
When teaching in front of class, she keeps everyone involved by asking questions to random students. Directing the focus on real life situations in comparison and reference to materials being covered in class, then asks for specific examples.
After setting a comfortable pace, she listens to individual input while making sure not to leave anyone behind. With Concentration on specifics to absorb exactly what each student is trying to get across, she makes sure the rest of the class understands.
While portraying the feeling that everyone has valuable input, class interaction and brainstorming is encouraged. A strategy that works well to help students retain the material, but also keeping it interesting and fun at the same time.
After getting students started on an in-class assignment, she utilizes idle time to browse around the room to give one-on-one attention to individuals in need of further instruction, or have additional questions.
While brainstormed ideas are shared, she makes sure to write key points on the board so everyone can get a visual, have the opportunity to take notes and discuss their ideas as a class.
Reichert makes sure students are aware of resources available right here on campus to provide further instruction or assistance.
Being one of 12 children, with just one of her own, Reichert stated, "I still can't believe I'm from such a large family".

floor
time with her ten month old granddaughter.
High school is when she originally wanted to become a teacher, but decided not to pursue it because at the time there was an over abundance.
High school is when she originally wanted to become a teacher, but decided not to pursue it because at the time there was an over abundance.
Inspired by teachers in high school with the way they encouraged students to, "figure things out on their own". Inspiration also came from her husband, who is in the education field and the automotive instructor on campus.
She's always been interested in pursuing her career from a counseling perspective and wanted to get into training education.
Reichert moved to Washington to live out of the city. There she started out working at a rape crisis center, first as a volunteer then as the coordinator of the education program and finally as the director.
Tired of the rain she decided to move to beautiful Durango, Colo. close to the mountains. "I loved the outdoors and lived in a Tee pee," said Reichert. This is where she met her husband, Phil. The couple married in 1988.

In 1992, she graduated from Metropolitan State University in Colorado with her bachelor's degree, majoring in psychology and minoring in parent education. Right after graduation Reichert worked for Head Start in Washington for two years. She quit working for Head Start and started teaching parent education classes at two different colleges.
Her husband got a job at LBCC, this is what brought her to Oregon. Hired as a grade school program coordinator, then as an Instructional Assistant for reading and study skills.
She then wanted more, this is when she started working on her master's degree in adult education at OSU and graduated in 1993.
In the fall of 2001, Sept. 11, the day the twin towers were hit. Reichert began her position at LBCC as full-time faculty with developmental studies and primarily teaches success skills, study skills and reading.
Her education was the biggest hurdle she had to overcome. Amazed at how much time it took to do well in school, while trying to balance homework and family life.
Being a first generation college student, she set an example. Now many family members have since obtained college degrees, as well.

The most rewarding thing about her position is, "Being a witness to people coming to the realization that they are so much more competent than they thought", and feels honored to be a part in setting a foundation for students.

It seems like a somewhat interesting bio/profile, however, I thought it needed "meat". It also needed more sourses and quotes.
