Experience
I am a high school teacher in Michigan.
My mom teaches 1st grade and is about to retire soon after 40 years! The last couple of years I have helped her develop lessons from the computer. Thus, being on TpT will serve two purposes.
Teaching style
Socratic. I wish I were as good as Socrates.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I was the 2004 recipient of the Triple A+ Award from my high school for academic and continued service to the school and community.
My own education history
I am a teacher, coach and small business owner. I am lucky to teach a discipline that I love and hopefully I show an enthusiasm for my classes.
Additional biographical information
I am a married family man who thought: I can look at other educators materials for ideas, help younger and older educators with ideas and maybe make a few extra dollars for my family while at it. Oh yeah, I also own a driver education school :)
