About the Author
I have taught students of all ages. I was one of the founding staff, and coordinator of Subway Academy One, an academic alternative secondary school of the Toronto District School Board. With my colleague, Murray Shukyn, I developed the proposal for, and co-founded, S.O.L.E., another independent study-based academic alternative secondary school for the Toronto Board of Education. I also co-wrote the proposal for a special program for excluded violent students. I have developed curriculum for a number of courses, ranging from Peer Tutoring to Philosophy. For many years, I was an Associate of the Faculty of Education of the University of Toronto, providing practical experience to student teachers in an alternative school setting. Along the way, I also taught outdoor education and ran training seminars for teachers. I currently run an academic upgrading program for students wishing to enter into an apprenticeship.As a freelance writer, together with a partner, Murray Shukyn, I have produced general interest and consumer information articles, movie review columns, columns for children and parents, and a multitude of Newspapers in Education learning kits.Our writing includes two textbooks, "Mathematics for Work and Everyday Life", for Treehouse Press, and "Back in the USSR" for Reidmore Press.
