Mr. Joel Engstrom

Hello!

I have been teaching in St. Paul for 20+ years.  I have spent time in 1st, 4th, 5th and now 3rd grades.  I have also been a math coach.  I enjoy traveling (mainly in the U.S.).  My wife also works in SPPS.  We have 2 great (most of the time) kids.

I graduated from the University of Minnesota.  I have also continued my studies at both Hamline University and St. Thomas.

My teaching philosophy is to teach kids how to teach others.
