Comeford's Journalism Class
This is my first blog, but I hope that reader's find helpful information about my Journalism classes as well as my adventures in getting my masters in Journalism at Kent State.
I have been a Journalism adviser for four years now, however, I did not begin my teaching career with the intentions of advising yearbook or newspaper. I attended Saint Mary's College with the intention of teaching high school social studies after. However, CPS had different plans for me. After teaching Economics for two years, I gained my endorsement in English and started the Journalism Department at Phoenix Military Academy. In the fall of 2010, I taught mine and the school's first Journalism class. Since then students have created 4 yearbooks. In 2013 The Phoenix Chronicle launched as Phoenix's first news website.
In addition to teaching Journalism and advising both publications, I am also the Region 3 representative for the Illinois Journalism Education Association. I represent the Cook and DuPage counties. After school I teach Driver Education, volunteer with Sisterhood, an all girls mentoring club at Phoenix, and run the Chicago half marathon with Road Scholars annually.
