"I love helping students excel. Most importantly I want students to love coming to school because they know they are not wasting their time and what they will learn will be directly applicable to their lives. I am a strong believer in using Best Practices in the classroom. This means that the teacher is not the only one doing work, the students learn through investigation and prediction of answers.

I am a retired high school teacher. I taught US Government and Economics to Seniors, Global Studies and Law Related Studies to Juniors and Seniors. I currently teach at Northeast Community College. I teach US History 1 and US History 2. I also work as an independent consultant helping teachers in social studies departments teach using Best Practices and helping students be successful on the State US History test.

My students scored in the top 10 percent on the ACT. The students who have taken the US History when I have worked with teachers improved their test scores by 20 points. The schools where I have worked are listed on the State department website with test score results. I have verifiable evidence if necessary.

I would like to work with anyone who is willing to work and willing to do their part in our collaboration." less...
