About the store
I am a retired educator who taught for 36 years in the same district where I began my career. In the past I taught 8th grade social studies to regular and pre-AP students. I have also taught inclusion social studies. I served as the chair for the social studies department and was a member of my school's leadership team. For the last 6 years of my career, I taught/facilitated a program called EAST (Education Accelerated by Science and Technology). The course is a state-approved initiative to encourage student self-directed learning through projects they create and design to solve problems or address needs they see in the communities around them using sophisticated, professional grade technology made available to them through the program.

Teaching style
I was not a traditional "book" teacher; but rather preferred coming up with my own resources to facilitate teaching the state frameworks. I sought to engage students by presentation of differentiated materials/activities that incorporate the use of media, technology, and project-based activities whenever possible. Making the material as high-interest as possible was my goal!
