Professional and Personal Interests
|
|
|
After college graduation and as an intermediate grade teacher
in St. Charles, Illinois, Dr. Egeland was active in the school’s
outdoor education program. This fit well with his camping background
and led to graduate studies in Outdoor Teacher Education. His
interest in experiential education continued in South America
where he served with TEAM as an educator at a school for missionary
children in the Andes Mountains and there inaugurated an outdoor
education program.
For five years Dr. Egeland was absent from the classroom to
help administer a large camp and conference center in Wisconsin.
He returned to the Fox Valley area of Illinois to pursue doctoral
studies while continuing teaching in the elementary classroom.
In responding to the invitation to join Wheaton’s Department
of Education, his teaching, research, and camping experience
have provided the impetus to encourage prospective teachers.
Dr. Egeland is married to Marie, a marriage and family therapist
and travel professional. They have two lovely daughters and
continue to reside and worship in the Fox River Valley, an enjoyable
bike ride from the campus.
