About The Teacher

This site is intended to be an extension of the classroom and not a 
replacement for instruction.  It WILL NOT contain day-to-day lessons, or 
smaller in-class assignments.  I usually update the homework calendars at the 
beginning of a unit and include reading assignments and any due dates for 
long-term assignments.  Occasionally the calendars need to be changed because 
of unforseen needs in pacing or scheduling.  I will relay any changes to 
students in the classroom first, and then post them on this site.  Please 
note: THE MOST UP-TO-DATE LIST OF ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE PROVIDED ON THE BOARD 
IN THE CLASSROOM.  Students find this site useful as it offers them the "big 
picture" of where they are headed, can often help keep them on target for 
reading assignments if they are missing school due to illness or vacation, 
and will contain copies of larger assignments in case a student has misplaced 
the copy that was handed out in class.

Mission

I began teaching in 1999 at Trumbull High School.  I have also taught at 
Western Connecticut State University and Pomperaug Regional High School.   
Prior to my Connecticut experience, I student taught at Brookline High  
School in Brookline, MA.  I seem to have left my heart in Boston where I 
earned a B.A. in English and M.Ed in Secondary Education from Boston College 
(GO EAGLES!).

I consider myself to be an easy-going and open-minded individual with a sense 
of humor.  I have three young sons who keep me quite busy: Jaden, Tanner, and 
Gavin.

For fun, I like to read a good book, take a long walk (yes, with the 
screaming children in tow), or on the very rare occasion when I am alone in 
the evening, sit outside and listen to...silence.

My philosophy:

"Try not to have any fun - this is supposed to be educational." - Charles 
Schultz.

Just kidding!  I consider humor to be an integral part of the educational 
process.  School should be entertaining as well as informative.

My goal is for students to become better readers, writers, and thinkers.  
There are some challenging readings and assignments ahead of you that will 
help you grow as a student and as a person as you prepare for life beyond 
high school.

Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
