I'm a National Board Certified teacher, a frequent contributor to Scholastic's Storyworks and Scope magazines, and the author of three books on education through Scholastic. I've developed a reputation for creating compelling read aloud plays based on African-American History, Civil Rights, and classic short stories.When not teaching the intermediate grades in southern Oregon, which I've done since 1993, I spend my time playing basketball, backpacking, and pestering kids.
