I have four basic rules for students; (1) Students need to be respectful, (2) I will respect students, (3) We always learn something new and have fun and (4) We always try to do good in the world.
I have been a guest teacher at Bolingbrook High School for over 7 years. The majority of the time I have been a long term quest teacher in the English and History department. I have taught everything from Freshman English to Senior Level AP and Honors English. In addition I have taught History at the high school level with a focus on WWII. I am very acquainted with helping students to identify high level evidence to support their claims and papers. Finally, I love science and enjoy teaching students.
I am in the process of finishing a collection of books that will aid students and parents. Based on my PhD studies I have a parent workbook that helps parents understand their role in supporting high school students.
