Who is Mr. Singer? The Cliff Notes Version:

Ocean View School District has been my sole employer for the last 14 
years. On a two-year transfer plan from Orange Coast College, I earned a 
Bachelor's degree in Social Ecology (with a specialization in child studies & 
psychology), at the University of California, Irvine.
I have also added on two specialized, supplimentary credentials: one in 
teaching social studies, the other, a Crosscultural, Language & Academic 
Development (CLAD) Certificate.
On October 19, 2008, I Received my Master's Degree in Teaching with a 
Specialization in Educational Technology at National University.
My teaching career began at Lake View Elementary in 1995, teaching 4th 
grade. That tour lasted six years, and I moved into their Title I Computer 
Lab, helping students enhance their reading and writing skills. After that, I 
took a two year leave of absence to raise my newborn son. Next, I relocated 
to College View in my present position. I'm happily married (my wife is a 
special education teacher), and I'm the proud father of two energetic boys, 
ages 5 and 15. In my spare time, I enjoy travel, reading, computers, surfing, 
swimming, long walks, and of course, spending time with my wonderful family.

My Mission Statement-The Crucial Connection for Student Success:

The home/school connection is vital for success. My goal is to establish 
a reciprocal relationship in which teachers and parents work together to 
implement a total educational plan. The result will be a learning 
environment that meets the needs of each student, and every child can be 
successful.
I enjoy teaching not only for my love of it, but because of the 
wonderful teachers in my classroom: Your children!
