About this item
If you have ever had the opportunity to observe a master craftsperson at work, one of the first things you will notice is how easy they make their work look. This principle applies to artists, athletes, plumbers and painters. It also applies to teachers.If you were fortunate enough to have some master teachers in your K to 12 schooling or for your university student teaching, you will have seen this principle at work. You will recall how easy they made teaching look. For the most part, their classes just flowed. The teacher would ask the students to do something, and the students did it. The teacher would cue the kids to transition into a new activity, and the kids transitioned. There was little conflict, few arguments, and the vast majority of classroom time was spent engaged in learning.
About the Author
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in Bacteriology. After several years of Lab Technician positions, I switched career gears and spent some time as a Personal Banking Rep, an Optometric Technician and a Shipping Supervisor. Never one to sit still, I now work as a QA Engineer for a software company. I grew up in both Wisconsin and Kentucky. In Kentucky, I lived and worked on a dairy farm-learning to milk cows and drive tractors. In my free time, I've been very involved in multiple community theaters. I got the acting bug in 1991, landing a small part in a play. Since then, I've landed lead roles in "Barefoot in the Park", "Arsenic and Old Lace" and "A Few Good Men". My wife and I moved to Florida in 2016 to escape the cold and snowy winters of Wisconsin. Now empty-nesters, we spend plenty of time at the beach. I've dreamed of publishing a novel for at least 20 years now. Finally, I can cross that off my bucket list with the release of "The Springthorpe Agenda". Thank you for taking the time to read about me. I'm extremely grateful and appreciate all of you who have supported me and encouraged me by reading my book.
