All About Ms.Tomter

Hi, my name is Brittney Tomter and I am a special education teacher at Hazelgreen Elementary School.  This is my fifth year teaching and my fourth year working at the green.  I am also a coach for the club Girls on the Run.  This will be the second year Hazelgreen will be hosting this club as well as my second year coaching. I was a behavior therapist for a year working with families and their child(ren) with autism on functional life skills. 

I received my bachelors in Learning Behavior Specialist 1 from Northern Illinois University in 2014 and an edorsement in Englsih as a Second Language from National Louis Univeristy in 2018.  While at Northern Illinois Unviersity, I was apart of two organizations: Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority and Best Buddies.  At Hazelgreen I am apart of the building leadership team, PBS committee, and the intervention team.

            


I currently live in Aurora with my boyfriend Collin and our two cats Callie and Elsa, but I was raised in Oswego.  I graduated from Oswego High School in 2010.  I am the oldest of three siblings.  I have two younger brothers, Jordan who is 17 and Brett who is 21.  My mother is a 4th grade teacher in Oswego and my father is a manager at Jimmy Johns.  I love anything and everything about Cats, Christmas, and Disney. I also love to be creative and craft with my cricut machine.  Teaching is my passion and I hope to make a difference in the lives of all my students and their families!
