Experience

I've taught English at high schools in the Chicago suburbs and currently teach as an adjunct Comp/rhetoric instructor at area community colleges. I'm also currently a curriculum and assessment consultant and have worked with ACT, NAGB, McGraw Hill, MacNeil Lehrer Productions, Scott Foresman, and more.

My own education history

I received my Master's in Education from Northwestern University.

These units will be organized and structured for immediate classroom use; you'll be able to enact my units with little prep work. The material is really excellent!
