Multicultural  Experience:

I've taught students from more than 20 different countries, from all 6 inhabited continents.

Experience with varying socioeconomic statue, race, and ethnitity in schools in Duluth, the twin cities, and abroad.

Competent in foreign languages

Time spent in both Europe and Asia


Content Knowledge:

Scored in top 10 percent on the national praxis II social studies content knowledge test

Experiential knowledge of history.  I've seen where the Nazi's burned the books in Berlin, where the mongols invaded China in the 13th Century, where Hitler marched in his Beer Hall Putsch, where students protested the Chinese government in Tiannanmen Square, and more.  This first hand knowledge, and the hundreds of photos I've taken, will be an asset to any history class.


Well Versed in Technology:

Competent in multiple operating systems including Windows XP and Vista, OSX, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, and Redhat

Working for a computer repair company (www.minnesotapcrepair.com) has given me a vast knowledge in computer hardware

Contributing to a technology website (www.technoblues.com) has kept me up date on computer software, OS releases, etc.

Working at the BISS in Shangahi enable me to employ these skills in lesson planning.  Smart board technology, projectors, powerpoint, webquests, and more were used in my lessons.
