John C. Storm

Class of 2002

John C. Storm received his MA in Spanish pedagogy at BYU in 2002 and went on to Purdue University to earn a PhD in foreign language education. He now teaches the methods and technology courses at the University of Northern Iowa. To facilitate sharing research and best practices, he established a collaborative effort with two other universities in Iowa that is called the Foreign Language Teacher Mentoring Program. To improve teaching practice, Storm suggests keeping a journal of teaching ideas and getting involved in collecting, learning, and appropriating best practices from professors, field experience teachers, scholarly journals, professional organizations, and additional resource books. He also suggests keeping connected to the McKay School of Education. John and his wife, Michon, are the parents of four children.
