I have been teaching Middle School and High School Social Studies for the past 31 years in the Minnesota public school system. I have also served as an adjunct professor teaching Social Studies Methods at North Dakota State University.
Philosophically, I believe in Constructivism, and I also believe that students learn best when they reflect on what they have recently learned or read.
Teacher of the Year in the Hawley Public School system in 2006.
BA - Social Studies and Physical Education - St. Olaf College - 1986 Master of Education - Curriculum - North Dakota State University - 2003
