All About Mrs. Qurt

      Hello and welcome to my page!!! My name is Alaa Qurt. I‘m an ESL teacher at Hazelgreen Elementary School. This is my ninth year teaching at district 126. I taught for four years at Stony Creek School and this is my fifth year teaching at Hazelgreen! I truly enjoy working with the students and staff! I earned my Bachelor’s degree in English language and literature from Birzeit University in Palestine. Then, I have earned my Master’s degree in education from Saint Xavier University. Later, I decided to pursue my education by attending Concordia University and from there I earned my ESL, bilingual and middle school endorsements. I believe that all students are capable of learning and I hope to make a difference in the lives of all my students.  

     I live in Chicago Ridge with my husband and two kids named Layla 10 years and Murad 4 years. I enjoy reading, dancing, cooking and spending time with my family and friends. 

     On my page, you will find some resources that you might find helpful to accelerate the English language acquistion for you and your child. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at 708-293-2225 or aqurt@dist126.org.
