A Message from your Regional Representative:

Hello fellow educators!  I am your Regional 2 Representative and I hope you will find this page full of useful resources.  I currently am an Instructional Coach and Social Studies Curriculum Coordinator for Belvidere District #100 in Belvidere, IL.  I have been a secondary social studies teacher for 20 years and social studies is my passion.  I think it’s one of the most exciting and important subjects taught in schools.  Please feel free to email me with questions and ideas that you would like to see added to the Region 2 webpage.

Sincerely,

Teresa Kruger
