Mrs. Janet Gensheimer is a World History teacher for both Advanced Placement and regular World History. Many difficulties have crossed her path including being in the late stages of pregnancy, but she still has managed to teach her students what is needed.
She has loved working in education for as long as she can remember and received her bachelor of Arts in History from Baldwin Wallace College. Some of her favorite hobbies include: sewing, reading history books, camping, playing darts and baking.
Gensheimer grew up in Ohio, and has been teaching at Roosevelt for eight years. She can be found inspiring students everyday in Rough Rider Building Second Floor Room 203.
It’s definitely a challenge working under such conditions and many of her students wonder how does Mrs. Gensheimer manage to do everything so well.
“It’s not that easy, especially since the deadline for birth is coming soon, I have to get as much material out to the students and put in as much grades as possible, so that I won’t be behind on grading and the students won’t fail,” Mrs. Gensheimer, said.
As well as Mrs. Gensheimer, some of her students also think that their World History teacher is doing a good job despite the adversity she’s dealing with.
“Mrs. Gensheimer is a very good teacher, I think she does a wonderful job to keep us on track and not slack off,” Jorge Mejia, junior, said.
Mrs. Gensheimer seems to be doing a fine job indeed as her students agree.
“Mrs. Gensheimer is really cool, she works together with Mr. Christopher Williams to have around the same lecture everyday so that all of us AP students can be on the same page. I think she does a fine job at making sure our stuff goes in the grader before she has her baby,” Rangel Rosado, junior, said.
Mrs. Gensheimer works double shift (a dedicated mom and teacher) while being on our Roosevelt campus and still has time to talk to her students and make sure they stay on top of their game. She is a very wonderful, hardworking and dedicated teacher. “Thank you Mrs. Gensheimer for being part of our history.” From your students.
