 Welcome to the Secondary School Educators site. I hope you will find my features and lists of Internet links interesting and useful.

Browsing the Internet is great fun for me since I love learning about new things in or out of the field of education. I have a doctorate in Education, a masters in learning disabilities and a bachelor of arts with a major in English. I have taught English grades 8-12, journalism, and a variety of courses in both resource and full time programs (grades 1 - 12) for the learning disabled, the emotionally handicapped, and the gifted.

Currently, I teach tenth grade English in a public high school in the mornings and work on this web site most of the rest of the hours I'm awake. If you'd like to see me hard at work, check the Web cam on my personal site. It's not working automatically yet, but the program author has said he'll help me straighten it out soon.

The featured topics of articles and Net links lists I've posted on the site are geared toward high school and middle school educators. The range is fairly broad; you can see what's here by clicking on "Features" and "Net links" in the navigation menu on the left side of your screen. If you have a special topic you'd like me to address, please let me know.

Please take a few minutes to post on our bulletin board and stop in our chat room. I am trying to schedule teacher guest hosts for teen discussions. If you might be willing to co-host an hour of teen or adult chat on a topic of interest to you, please let me know that too! I think this could be a lot of fun.
