TEACHING EXPERIENCE

"Constant Reader Learning Materials" is really a teacher and professor hiding in the background avoiding the policies that says he can't write curriculum for others or sell his work. Professor Constant Reader earned a position as an expert in Common Core from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He has created curriculum for himself and his classroom, for other schools and educators, for publication, college courses, and home school. His publishing credits include more than 40 online courses for a major university, 55 online textbooks, a guide to writing, a novel, four travel guides, and numerous chapters, stories, poems, and essays.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Professor Constant Reader loves to find the alternative meanings in texts. He challenges gifted students to rise to college level (or as close as they can get) thinking, reading, and writing. Meanwhile, he is very attuned to students facing various challenges who need extra help and guidance.
