Dear Reader,

My name is Adam Clements. Originally I am from Midland, Michigan. I attended Michigan State University and majored in Elementary Education with teaching specializations in Language Arts and Math. (Certified: K-5 All Subjects / 6-8 ELA and Math) After graduating, I completed a few of my master's credits overseas in South Africa on an amazing study abroad experience. Aside from bungee jumping off the world's highest commercial bungee bridge (216 m), or riding an ostrich, the best part of that experience was being able to learn and work with a 3rd grade class of about 50 students. Following that experience, my internship year was at Attwood Elementary in Lansing, Michigan with a fantastic 5th grade class. I was then hired by Okemos Public Schools in Michigan and have been teaching 4th grade for the past four years at Hiawatha Elementary School.
​
Thank you for your interest in my educational journey and for taking the time to view and reflect upon my work.  This portfolio is the summation of my hard work, dedication to growth and continual inquiry, and a reflection of my passion and love for education.

Sincerely,
Adam Clements
