About Me

My name is Jill Bartling and I was born in Ludington, Michigan. I moved to Sidney, Nebraska when I was 5 years old and graduated from Sidney Public School. I graduated from the University of Wyoming in Laramie in 1994. Leyton was my first job out of college. I am married and have one son who is in high school. When not in the classroom, I enjoy traveling, glamping, gardening, and spending time with family, friends, and my dogs, Tuffy and Carl. I am proud to teach for Leyton Public Schools!

Philosophy of Education

My philosophy of education is that all children are capable of learning, and all children are capable of teaching others. We don't all learn in the same way, so using a student's strengths can definitely make them achieve more with greater confidence. I give all children a chance to build upon their strengths to gain confidence. I use a hands-on approach to bring out a child's creativity and understanding, while maintaining a comfortable, but stimulating, learning environment.
