TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught high school since 2005-2006. I create almost all my own materials because doing so helps me think through the questions, "What do I most want students to get out of this lesson?" and "What questions are they likely to have as we go through this topic?" I include insights gained in my teacher notes and directions. Courses that I have taught (and therefore developed the curriculum for and differentiated to multiple academic levels) are pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, general science, physics, and chemistry.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Mostly lecture-demo with a healthy dose of labs and activities that get students moving around because sitting all day sucks.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

B.S. Physics, Villanova M.A. Education, Villanova

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

"Fudge factor" hits several aspects of my life beautifully: science-teacher, candy-maker, house-fixer, father of several boys. My store photo is a sculpture of Moses that I saw in Italy with my wife in 2011 that shows him with horns, indicating a mistranslation from Hebrew in which he was said to have a halo, but the Renaissance-era Italians thought the word meant "horns". It amuses me.
