“Just flat-out interesting. The story localizes and explains a very hot trend in education. It doesn’t function as a booster piece, just illustrates the pros and cons of the classroom through quotes and reporting.”
–From the Parenting Media Association on “The Flipped Classroom,” which earned a Bronze Medal
As I always tell my students, I’ve wanted to be a teacher ever since pre-school and I am lucky to be living the dream. I’ve taught middle school in Las Vegas, 9th grade in Denver, and currently teach World History and Economics in Everett. I’ve also spent couple summers teaching English in China and did a student-teaching stint in Norway. I am obsessed with everything education related, and love writing about any and all education topics. Most of this writing has ended up in ParentMAP (a Seattle based magazine).
