Experience with SubjectAs a working song writer, the co-creater of a website for musicians (minnesota-music.com), and a life-long learner, my experience with the language of English is continually alive and my philisophical understanding is constantly challenged. I love to study and use the language in as many ways as possible. Therefore, I feel comfortable and competent to teach the subject of English as a way of artistic expression, a means of communicating in a bureaucratically run environment, historically, culturally, and as a second language.
Experience with TeachingI have taught and developed curricula since 1988. At the Science Museum of Minnesota, I developed classes and summer camps for children and youths. I taught adult ESL for the Mendota Heights Community College. I developed and implemented a course for Dunwoody Institute in Technology and the Arts for Youth summer program. I am developing and will soon teach a course in learning and teaching at the Minneapolis College of Art and DesignIn England, I taught and developed curricula for Matthew Arnold Middle School in English and National Curricula Implementation of Technology in the English classroom. I was a student teacher and later a substitute techer for the Minneapolis school system. I have developed and conducted seminars for adult education as part of a private consortium of life-long learners. My emphasis here is in Dream Work and Spirituality. I have taught Voice Lessons privately over the last six years. My approach to Vocals is holistic and student-directed. |
