About Mr. Bell

Mr. Bell graduated from William Paterson University in 2001 with B.A. in 
History. He has completed over 30 graduate credits in Teaching at William 
Paterson University and will complete his Master's Degree in Education 
Leadership, Management and Policy from Seton Hall University this fall. He 
holds a New Jersey K-8 Standard Teaching License. 

While in Kinnelon, Mr. Bell has received numerous grants that has helped the 
Kinnelon Education Foundation and the Kinnelon Elementary Home School 
Association purchase technology for the classrooms of Kiel and Sisco School. 
Over the past three years, he has been instrumental in implementing 
technology throughout the school with the use of SMART Boards, webquests and 
other web based activities. He is also seen throughout the district by 
sitting on numerous committees (Kiel Building Team, Technology, Emergency 
Crisis Response Team) and is the Assistant Girls Soccer Coach at Kinnelon 
High School. Last season, we was the Head Coach of the Girls PRM Middle 
School Soccer team that won the Morris County Championship for the first time 
in 23 years. He has been teaching in Kinnelon since 2006. Previously, he was 
a First Grade Teacher in the Wyckoff School District.

When he is not at school, he keeps busy by volunteering on the 
Pequannock Township Fire Department. He is the First Lieutenant with Engine 
Company #1 in Pompton Plains. You can usually see him around Kinnelon 
cheering for his students at different events. (As long as he gets a 
schedule!)

Mr.and Mrs. Bell reside with their dog Rooney in Pompton Plains.
