Experience Summary
I have 25 years experience in teaching from grades 6 through college; public schools; private schools; community college. My masters degree is in history. I have written one government text, several chapters of high school history texts, and economics teacher materials while working for Glencoe/ McGraw-Hill publishing. I have an Ohio professional certificate, still up to date.
I am retired, but still writing for a web site.
Teaching Style
I believe that each student learns in his or her unique way. Creativity in teaching style is necessary to find out how best to teach. I have developed many different strategies, approaches.
My Hobbies
I like to travel, jog, play Madden and Fantasy football, paint landscapes, raise a dog, and write for fun.
