About
My career spanned almost 45 years. The first 20 years or so was in parochial and public schools teaching science most often and in Grades 2 through 8. Loved those middle schoolers!
After going back to school, I moved to another state and worked in their Department of Education helping science teachers improve their skills and knowledge. That lasted 10 years before I decided to go back to school -- again! At the end of that scholarly effort, I had some very interesting experiences.
One was with a former astronaut at my alma mater, and two other jobs were in the Middle East. Qatar University in Doha, Qatar was the most adventurous. For 6 years, I taught in my native language - English; however, most of my students used English as their second, third, or even fourth fluent language.
I learned so much; I'm so glad I went!
