Biographical Information
Since retiring from classroom teaching I have been working for the Cherokee Ranch Science Institute. In addition to doing research on the large deposits of petrified wood found on the ranch, I'm also the head guide for outdoor education hikes.
Personal Message
Being a Milken Educator has played a crucial role in my entire educational career. For many years I taught professional development classes on cognitive science and classroom instruction. At the end of my career in the classroom I created a website with a fellow Milken Educator, Kathy Granas (CO 1999). Below is a link to this website that contains a variety of writings and ideas to promote excellence in the classroom.
