30+ years developing and teaching social studies/ELA content and skills to students of all abilities. Published two books: Blue's River (2019) for grades 3-6 - an environmental history of a local river; and Allies for Justice (2007) for grades 7-9 - the story of the role that Delaware played in the Brown versus Board of Education case.
I'm not big into content presentation (although I can do it as well as the best of 'em). Love getting kids debating, questioning, cooperating, creating.
