About the store
I have been teaching for fourteen years and am currently the AP Computer Science A and AP Computer Science Principles teacher at a high school in the San Francisco Bay Area. In AP Computer Science A, we focus on the Java and in AP Computer Science Principles, I choose to teach my students the Python programming language.
In my fourteen years of teaching, I have also taught an Introduction to Engineering and Design course and Principles of Engineering through Project Lead the Way curriculum, as well as Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Advanced Algebra, and an introductory computer programming course offered at my current school.

Experience
I have been teaching for fourteen years and am currently the AP Computer Science A and AP Computer Science Principles teacher at a high school in the San Francisco Bay Area. In AP Computer Science A, we focus on the Java and in AP Computer Science Principles, I choose to teach my students the Python programming language.
In my fourteen years of teaching, I have also taught an Introduction to Engineering and Design course and Principles of Engineering through Project Lead the Way curriculum, as well as Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Advanced Algebra, and an introductory computer programming course offered at my current school.
Teaching style
I believe that all students should have access to success in computer science, so there are no prerequisites for my AP Computer Science classes. Instead, I differentiate my activities so that students who are new to programming can focus on simpler coding tasks, while more advanced students can complete the extended activities. The coding activities in my worksheets typically included sequenced practice problems, with extension problems for students who want a challenge. I also like to integrate my lessons with core subjects, especially math and science, as well as the graphic arts and work-based learning.
