I teach four sections of Physics and one section of General Physical
Science at Southfield High School in Southfield, Michigan. 1999-2000 is my
third year at the school and in the district. In previous school years,
I have also taught Essential Math II and freshman General Science (Earth
and Physical).
I have attended the 1999 Michigan Space Grant Consortium STELLA Workshop,
the 1998 Michigan Space Grant Consortium Geosciences Workshop and the
1998 Detroit Edison Energy Educators Workshop. I also attend MSTA (where
I often work at the MESTA Free & Inexpensive Shop), MDSTA and MESTA
conventions regularly and will be presenting something at the
Earth Science Share-a-thon at the NSTA regional in Detroit in fall 1999.
During the 1996-1997 school year, I worked as the Computer Assistant
at Ann Arbor (MI) Pioneer High School. I spent the spring of 1996 working
as a substitute teacher in Ann Arbor, Chelsea, Manchester and Saline, Michigan.
I also worked as the science teacher for the Eastern Michigan University
Upward Bound program summer camp during the summers of 1996 and 1997.
I completed my student teaching assignment in fall 1995 with Margaret
Roding at Standley Lake High School
(Jefferson County Public Schools)
in Westminster, Colorado.
I was awarded my M.A. in science education in August 1995. I now have
the legal right (and obligation?) to walk up to you on the street, look
deeply into your eyes and proclaim:
"I am the Master and you will obey me. Do
you understand? You will obey me."
As it turns out, in about four more years, my Spousal Overunit, Kris,
will be a Doctor of many things. Coincidence? I think not...
I was an on-and-off volunteer at
Wallace Fiske Planetarium,
Boulder, CO from 1991 to 1993 and was married there in January 1996.
I'm hoping to eventually move into the planetarium/museum business full-time.
