Bio at a Glance

Mrs. Supenski is what the students call me at Bellevue West High School. If you ask my DECA students about me, they will say, "You mean DECA Gogi?" They are intrigued by my first name, Gogi, and like to say it! I have been teaching business classes at Bellevue West for four years. After receiving my bachelor's degree at UNL, I was employed at OPPD for a few years before deciding to enjoy being a stay-at-home mom. The experiences shared with my son and two daughters reinforced my decision to become a teacher. My graduate education is in progress at UNO. After completing the TAP program at UNO, I began my teaching career at Bellevue West. Attending a one-room school and having the same teacher for grades K-8 established my love for education (and school). Mrs. Small was a mentor, mother, and friend. She encouraged all of her students to work hard and follow their dreams.

"Techie" may not be my nickname, but I am intrigued by all aspects of technology. I have been a PC user but had an opportunity in my graduate studies to use a Mac. I could easily adapt to using a Mac given time to explore the many applications available. Being a business and technology teacher, I use the technology that is available in my classrooms. Instructing students to use Microsoft Office applications fill my days at Bellevue West. I also use many resources from the Internet to supplement the curriculum. Although I have not entered the smart phone era, many of my students have smart phones and use them as a resource when needed. Technology is advancing at a fast pace and I am anxious to learn more so that I can implement the advances into my classroom.
