Professional Background

  • Hello! My name is Roberta Quigley. I am currently a senior in a  teacher-preparation program at the University of Michigan-Dearborn . I  have a major in History and a  minor in Biology. During the winter of 2004, I  have been completing my student teaching  at Redford Union High School. Andy Christopherson, a veteran social studies teacher at Redford Union, has been my mentor during my internship.  Together, Mr. Christopherson and I have been participating in the Mitten program,  a project through UM-D designed to assist  teachers in  integrating technology into the classroom curriculum.

Classroom Environment

  • School-Community Background- Redford Township is a working-class suburb of Detroit. Redford's estimated population of 52,000 people reside within a mere 11 square mile area--making it one of the most densely populated cities in the Midwest. Redford Township is split into two school districts-South Redford School District and Redford Union School District #1.Redford Union High School is part of  the Redford Union School District #1.

Redford Union High School serves approximately 1200 students in grades 9-12. Because Redford Union is a  "school of choice" district, a small population of students from Detroit and other neighboring cities also attend RUHS. The school offers an outstanding curriculum, athletic programs, and after school clubs to its student body.

  • School Technology- Every classroom at Redford Union High School is equipped with at least one computer with internet access. There are also three room-sized computer labs in the school. Most students at RUHS have access to computers and the internet at home. However, regardless of accessibility of computers within the home, Redford Union High School maintains a computer lab that is available to students before, during, and after school.
