My Professional Background:
I have been a teacher of students for over 30 years. I have taught students from as young as kindergarten all the way to adults. The majority of my teaching years have been involved with technology instruction and STEM. I live in Pennsylvania with my wife Connie and my faithful chocolate lab, Scout.
My Educational Philosophy includes the following:
* Every student deserves a safe and nurturing learning environment
* Classroom atmosphere that allows for joy, adventure and discovery
* Students do quite well when they are active learners: they engage with the learning material by reading, listening, writing, speaking, reflecting and using technology
* Staunch supporter of differentiated instruction where the teacher teaches to each student’s unique style of learning: auditory, visual, tactile and kinesthetic. This style of instruction ties in well with Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences
* An effective teacher is one who is well prepared and organized. They also provide consistent feedback to their students
* I support the development of 21st century skills in my students
A Tidbit of coolness about me:
* My name is stored on a CD that is currently on the surface of Mars!Reviews
