Teaching

Background

I am looking forward to my first year at Whittier and my first time teaching second grade. I have been a part of the Boulder valley School district for ten years, teaching fourth, fifth and, for the past six years, first grade. I am very excited to learn about the IB program and to teach in the same school as my wife, Holly! I am currently working on my ELL endorsement and, as part of the coursework, spent two weeks in Puebla, Mexico teaching in an elementary school and taking classes.

Teaching

Background

This year is my ninth year at Whittier. It’s been exciting to be a part of the IB process from the beginning. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education and also a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education. Before moving to Boulder, I taught in the suburbs of Chicago, my home (Go Bears!). My experience includes teaching preschool, kindergarten, second grade, literacy K-3, and substitute teaching in all grade levels. I especially love my current second grade position! The kids at this age are wonderful! I worked for years at the Boulder Bookstore because I’m a big fan of children’s literature and I loved the discount! I also enjoy camping, biking, snowboarding, and seeing live music
