Summary

I have worked at Marian High School for the past 22 years in the science department. The last 10 years I have been science department chair. During this time I have taken steps to develop NGSS standards in the class room. I have done multiple professional development courses to achieve this goal. I am ready to retire from classroom teaching, but would like to continue working in education.
