Here Goes!

For some reason or another I have decided to add a blog to my life's daily activities. Not sure of its necessity, but I have been told for the last 15 months to write, write and write some more!

I am a high school teacher and coach. I serve as the Dean of STEM at a stand-alone magnet STEM academy. I teach engineering courses and authored our signature course (STEM 1-4) that is a co-facilitated problem based learning course that focuses on developing 21st Century work skills.

I have presented nearly 20 times this year to various organizations, with a huge focus on STEM As A Way of Thinking. STEM learning in its most dynamic form is all about the mindset and approach to critical thinking, problem solving and presenting the solutions at every turn.

I hope you will follow me and help me learn and grow.
