I
have been in the planetarium at Shaker High School since
1989. I started teaching in the elementary grades in
1972. This early experience has helped me to teach to
students of all ages as well as adults. I enjoy making
telescopes and using them to host star parties. I initially
entered Case Western Reserve University with the purpose
of becoming a research astronomer. I discovered teaching
and went into that area. When the Shaker Planetarium
director died, I was chosen for the job because of my
ability to talk to a variety of age levels. I have enjoyed
teaching a subject I love to investigate.
Past
events hosted by this Ambassador:
Mars Show Shaker Heights High School
Cultivating a Community of Teacher Leaders Rooted in Technology Environmental Center
