Hello! I teach 8th grade social studies at Clinton Junior High School in Clinton. I grew up in here as well and have come full circle as I teach in the same room that I had social studies in as an 8th grader. I just finished my 7th year teaching and am currently teaching 4 weeks of summer school. My wife Staci is a teacher as well which is great since we have the same schedule. In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking or traveling wherever possible. We are trying to cross all of the national parks off and are planning on checking off Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Glacier this summer.
I'm excited to learn how to incorporate more technology into social studies and learn more ways to get the kids integrated with technology in class. I'm looking forward to trying things out during summer school before implementing them in the fall!
Tell Leslie Albee I said hi, she hired me at BJHS.
That's so neat that you are teaching in the same school you attended as a child!
I love your travel goals for the summer! Like many, I've also felt the need to get away after such a long time being shut indoors. Thankful we didn't have to wait longer for the vaccine :) As a former middle school teacher, I always love having someone who gets middle school students in my classes!
