CAREER PROFILE Veteran teacher successful working with a variety of students; flexible teaching across the history curriculum. Skilled at motivating and rewarding students for effort, in the belief that performance will follow. Shaped by principles demonstrating learning through project-based and student-centered activities utilizing various forms of cooperative learning. Administrative experience (Department Chair and Dean of Faculty), but the classroom still best feeds my spirit; promoting professional development and teacher collaboration/exchange of ideas are also important interests.
