MY PRIMARY ROLES AT SUMMIT
Teacher: 6th grade 95-98 (social studies 95-96; Language Arts 96-98);
7th grade 2005-2013 (social studies and one year 9th grade social studies during that period);
6-8th grade 2013-present (language arts and language tutorial, with a year of social studies during that period)
HARDLY ANYONE AT SUMMIT KNOWS THAT
I worked in schools for Burmese refugees (in Thailand) for four years and that I am learning Greek language on my own (with help from my wife and her family, who are Greek)
A BOOK, FILM, WORK OF ART, OR PIECE OF MUSIC I CANNOT IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT
The record album Roxy and Elsewhere by Frank Zappa and the Mothers
MY FAVORITE PROJECT THE STUDENTS ARE WORKING ON THIS YEAR
Making Mythology - the 7th grade Signature Experience
ONE THING I WANT ALL MY STUDENTS TO KNOW WHEN THEY LEAVE MY CLASSROOM
That language arts is an art, not a science.
WYPIWYGO (what you put in, is what you get out); be responsible and think about others.
