TEACHING EXPERIENCE

With nearly 20 years of experience in classroom teaching and school administration, Dr. Blase has focused his career in making assessing students easy for teachers to understand and manage. It's not about testing more, but testing smarter!

MY TEACHING STYLE

A coaching mentality always in mind, John works with students both as a class and one-on-one to ensure that their work is reflecting not only what they know, but what they can actually do. It's not enough for students to just know what they need to, but how to use that knowledge practically and effectively both in and out of the classroom.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Yet to be added

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

John has earned his B.A. in English, a M.A. in Secondary Education and his Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction. He has worked in rural and urban districts, large and small schools, and with teachers in rich and poor communities. In each case, he has found that assessments don't mean anything unless the teacher can actually use the information in a meaningful way.
