Science - Periodic Chart of the Elements Handout
This is a basic version of the periodic table showing symbols with no names of elements. All masses have been rounded to two decimal places. This is the basic chart I allow students to use on exams. The names of the elements are not listed to force the students to know the symbols of the elements beforehand.

Chemistry - Solubility Guidelines for Water
This is a basic list of solubility rules for chemistry students. This list has been created from four different chemistry texts so your text may or may not list ions in this manner. I wanted to combine the different type of lists from different texts into a single list that would be more correct than any of the textbooks would be on their own.
At the bottom of the page I have included a list of complex ions used for the AP chemistry exam.

Chemistry - Lab Report Rubric Handout
This is a version of the lab report rubric to grade formal lab reports written according to the lab report format I show them. I have this in front of me as a reference as I grade reports to allow me to show consistency while grading reports – especially when taking more than one sitting to complete the grading process. This is also given to the students so they know what I will be looking for as I grade their reports.
The number format for the grades are skewed a little to show the gradin

Chemistry - Lab Report Format Handout
This is a version of the lab report handout I use to show students how I want lab reports written. Different teachers have different thoughts on sections of the lab notebook and what may be required so this is not a one-size-fits-all format. If you have no basic format of your own, use this and build what works best for your courses.

Teaching style
I believe in hands-on activities and no down-time. Idle hands are not providing learning opportunities.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I have been awarded the 2007 West Virginia Department of Education Model 21st Century Classroom Teacher Award, the 2011 Thinkfinity Award for Technology Innovation, the 2011 RESA-1 Exemplary Teacher Award covering a 6 county area, the 2012 Thinkfinity Award for Technology Innovation, have been invited to be an AP Chemistry exam reader in 2011 and 2012, and have been approved by the College Board with certified syllabi in AP Chemistry, AP Physics B, and AP Physics C: Mechanics. I currently hold permanent certifications in general science (grades 5-12), chemistry (grades 9-12), and physics (grades 9-12).
My own education history
I completed my B.S. in Secondary Education in '95 from West Virginia University, my M.Ed. in Educational Leadership in '09 from Concord University, and my Ed.D. in Teacher Leadership from Walden University.
