About MeMy name is Mr. Bledsaw, and this is my 9th year at Jefferson. Prior to teaching at Jefferson, I taught 3rd grade at Carl Sandburg before coming over to teach 5th grade where I have been ever since. Before coming to Charleston, I worked as a one-on-one aide in Clinton, where I also coached basketball.
I attended school in a small school district near Decatur where my entire high school was not much larger than one grade level here in Charleston. I then first attended college at Richland Community College for 2 years, where I graduated with my Associate's in Science degree, before transferring to Millikin University, where I graduated with my Bachelor's of Science degree in 2011. While there, I worked in both the Admissions and Registrar's Offices. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, as well as cheering on the Chicago Cubs! I am currently working on my National Board certification. I am also currently working on my Master's Degree through Eastern Illinois University. I look forward to working with your student this year! |
