15 years teaching experience: World History, US History, Psychology, Economics, Personal Finance, and Government.
My goal is to be clear with instruction and objectives. I try to teach as a "salesmen of information" -- they will only be interested if I seem interested. The best learning happens when the students are doing things that are rigorous, relevant, and don't even realize they are learning. *I try to teach each class as if my sons or I were in the class.
2014-15 School Year: Received highest possible ranking from school administration based on 5 formal observations.
Bachelors in Broadfield Social Studies Masters in Curriculum and instruction. Many additional credits that focus on technology, assessment strategies, and differentiation.
Enjoy: spending time with my wife and four sons, hiking and trail running, any water sport on the water, carpentry and home remodeling, volleyball, and anything else that offers peace and/or adrenaline rushes.
