About me
Who is TFMS seventh grade reading and language arts teacher Mr. Alston? Understanding who Mr. Alston is requires introduction to his family. He has been joyously married to his wife, Lois Alston, for two years. Mrs. Alston is also an educator and continues to ignite passion for life and learning into Mr. Alston’s life daily. Mrs. Alston’s beautiful smile is a perfect complement to her sensational sense of humor. He has also been blessed by the arrival of his graceful daughter Anya Christina Alston. Born on April 17, 2008, Anya was the inspiration for Mr. Alston to seek a community of educational excellence found in the Tinton Falls School District.

His educational background includes attendance at Rutgers University, Rutgers College, in New Brunswick, NJ. He majored in Journalism and Mass Media Studies, minored in English: Cinema Studies, and played vinyl records as a disc jockey for two years on WRSU 88.7 FM. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the School of Communication and Library Sciences at Rutgers. He has entered his fifth year of teaching. His teaching experience spans sixth, seventh, and eighth grade classes in Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics. He will receive his Master of Arts in Teaching and Learning with a concentration in K-12 Technology Integration from Nova Southeastern University in June 2009. He plans to continue his studies to become a Doctor of Education in Instructional Technology and Distance Education.

Music, running, kayaking, and traveling are few activities that Mr. Alston enjoys outside of the classroom. He is also very enthusiastic about music. He can often be caught playing music in his classroom to stimulate brain compatible learning. He desires to create music using technology and live instrumentation to produce an organically aural experience. His future endeavors include returning to New Orleans to continue rebuilding community after Hurricane Katrina, enjoying a great Japanese sushi meal with his wife in Japan, and witnessing the amazing development of Anya as she grows into womanhood.
