James McGuire

Case Manager

Welcome to my page!  This school year I will be working as the Case Manager. 

I grew up in the the southwest suburbs of Chicago with my twin brother and sister.  I found my love of teaching volunteering during my junior year of high school. I attended Illinois State University and earned my Learning and Behavior Specialist degree.  My career as a Chicago Public School teacher began in the Little Village neighborhood where I taught 7th and 8th graders. Five years later, I had the opportunity to join the staff at Bateman. Over the past five school years, I've had the incredible opportunity to support eighth grade students and their families. Now I get to support our entire student population and their families. 

When I am not at Bateman, I enjoy cooking, reading new books, spending time with my family and friends, and being active.

One phrase that I like to keep in mind is "Practice Makes Better," because none of us are perfect, but we can always try to be and do better.
