I presently develop and train teachers to develop standards based modules on environmental education issues centered around the Stapleton Airport National Weather Service Site.
Experience
I was a design engineer for Dover Elevator Co. before becoming a teacher.
I have taught math, science, and technology basically from an inquiry based, problem solving approach for 20 years, 1973 - 1993.
I started with DPS in 1983, after teaching math, science, and technology in Memphis, rural Arkansas, and the Navajo Indian Reservation. I have been a counselor/student advisor at the Contemporary Learning Academy for 4 1/2 years, 1993-1997. I am a data base designer for our district.
