About Oates & CompanyOates & Company is not your typical "company", but rather,
a community of learners. It's a company of students who make up the learning community inside a living & breathing middle school business classroom. This learning community is based off of the mastery learning model named The Grid Method. |
About Mr. OatesGreetings! My name is Brandan Oates, and I'm the business teacher at Kingsley Junior High School. I have the pleasure of teaching students from all grade levels at Kingsley with four sections of 6th & 7th Grade Computer Skills and two sections of 8th Grade BELT (Business, Entrepreneurship, Leadership Training).
I'm a co-adviser for both The Stream Team and STEM Club, and I also serve as the Infinite Campus Building Coach as my colleagues & I continue to work with and learn more about our new student information system. I attended Illinois State University for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees, earning my bachelor's in Business Education and master's in Teaching & Learning. I've been a teacher in Unit 5 since August 2018. (I was also fortunate to complete my student teaching experience here in Unit 5 at Normal Community High School and Northpoint Elementary.) |
