Experience
I have recently retired from teaching. The majority of my experience has been in middle school, and I am certified to teach both Language Arts and Social Studies. I have an eclectic collection of ideas to offer, ranging from young adult literature and writing to world geography.

My style is hands-on and interdisciplinary with a focus on trying to develop an instinctual curiosity for lifelong learning. I tend to be a facilitator, rather than "the sage on the stage."
