Bio

I am a retired public and Catholic school principal who has won both Educator of the Year (Diocese of Toledo) and the NCEA Distinguished Principal's Award. As a teacher, I developed an Economics unit that won the Teachers in American Enterprise Award, have taught all 37 of Shakespeare's plays over 14 years of teaching Shakespeare Seminars, and have had notable success recently in working with students who have Aspergers.

I am a retired public and Catholic school principal who has won both Educator of the Year (Diocese of Toledo) and the NCEA Distinguished Principal's Award. As a teacher, I developed an Economics unit that won the Teachers in American Enterprise Award, have taught all 37 of Shakespeare's plays over 14 years of teaching Shakespeare Seminars, and have had notable success recently in working with students who have Aspergers. As a principal, I founded a Montessori preschool, worked as a National Science Foundation consultant and received leadership training in the Comer School Development Model, the Effective Schools Model, several brain-based learning models and Rick Stiggins' Assessment for Learning Model, all of which I successfully implemented in several schools. As a result of these implementations, I led one school from Academic Emergency to Continuous Improvement and my last elementary building from Continuous Improvement to an Excellent Rating, the only Excellent rated school in the history of my district.

My subject strengths are math (Algebra I and lower), science, social studies and literature. I also started a peer mediation program that won four state and national awards, and I was a successful basketball and volleyball coach.

I have been tutoring students in grades 3-college since January 2013 in all subjects and Ohio Academic Assessment (OAA) preparation. My students have improved both their grades and their OAA scores, including one disabled student who experienced his first consistent academic success in years and scored at the Accelerated level on both the Reading and Math OAA, after I worked with him for four months.

I have current BCII and FBI background checks and still facilitate periodic math and reading testing in the district from which I retired.

Among my professional activities, I was President of the Board of Directors of Mohican Outdoor School, the oldest outdoor education school in Ohio, and a founding trustee of the Richland County Children's Theatre Foundation and the Msgr. Edward Dunn Foundation for Education.

The following are comments from the mother of one of my students:

"Bob is truly a remarkable teacher. The truth is, I had a very difficult child to teach. His developmental delay, anxieties and Asperger-type issues created huge roadblocks inhibiting his ability to handle the process of learning. Bob helped my son tear those roadblocks down. His keen insight, patience, and flexibility allowed my son to push past his frustrations, fears and anxiety so that he could focus on his school work. I was most impressed with the balance he achieved in pushing my son to met new challenges while tailoring the pace and presentation of tasks in a manner that met my son’s special needs. My son advanced two grade levels in a single year because of the time and effort Bob spent in creating a curriculum and teaching style tailored to my son’s abilities. My son is now enjoying a very successful freshman year at the public high school. I will always be thankful to him for all the work he did in making that happen."

I was a public school principal for 17 years in a high poverty urban school district. I implemented the Effective Schools Model, Rick Stiggins' Assessment for Learning Model and the Comer School Development Model in order to facilitate my students' success on the Ohio Achievement Test/Common Core Objectives in Reading, Math and Science. My elementary school became the only Excellent Rated School on the Ohio School Report Card in my district's history, and my middle school improved from Academic Emergency to Continuous Improvement in just 2 years before I retired. In addition, I have tutored many students on the Ohio Common Core Objectives, including an autistic student with six diagnoses, who scored at the Accelerated level on both the 7th grade Reading/Language Arts and Mathematics test, the first time in four years that he had passed the OAT, after I worked with him for only four months. For three years after I retired, I continued to be part of a team testing 2600 elementary students twice per year in order to assess their progress on the Common Core Standards.

Besides tutoring students in grades 3-8 in math, I served on math program review teams and was involved in implementing several individualized and Best Practice math programs in my schools. In 2013, I was the primary instructor for an autistic seventh grader who was on the fifth grade level in math. During four months of instruction, we covered all the sixth and seventh grade Ohio math objectives and he scored at the Accelerated level on the Ohio Achievement Assessment. One of my other math students improved from a B to an A and another from an F to a B.

I am currently working with two girls in Reading and Language Arts and have worked with students from third grade through college age in all subjects.

I was a principal for 38 years and participated in thousands of intervention meetings, focusing on developing academic and/or behavioral plans, many of which involved coaching students on developing their study skills.

In that capacity, I met with students on a weekly basis to review their progress and help establish strategies that would promote more effective study habits. I set up processes and forms that enabled students to become more self-directed and assisted them in evaluating their success.

American History

Besides a successful career in education, I have several characteristics which should be of assistance in American History, particularly in the topic of WWII and the aftermath. Before becoming a principal, I attended 2.5 years of law school, which has given me an extensive knowledge of American History and law. In addition, I grew up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee (the location of the Manhattan Project, where my father spent his career after being in Army/Air Force Intelligence during the War), which provided a unique education in history, science and world politics. I also authored the staff and parent-student handbooks for my districts for my entire career, wrote numerous successful grant and award applications, was an officer on five boards of directors, and was a founding trustee of two foundations.

GREAT tutor!!

Mr. Robert K is an excellent tutor. We had to move to Loveland, OH for 6 weeks, and I took my 5th grade son from his school. The school gave us weekly plans and homework. Robert helped my son in math, science, and English. He was excellent, patient, and consistent. My son said he is even better than his school teachers. When he returned to his school they tested him in all the materials, and he aced them!! His math teacher noticed the tremendous improvement! I strongly recommend him. Thanks!
