He began his higher education shortly after birth when he questioned the way his sisters were teaching him to say “papa”. By the end of his high school days, he had developed a true passion for science and received a Baccalaureate Degree in Basic Sciences from the University of Wisconsin in 1960.
He began teaching science and French, why French is hard to understand in a Wisconsin high school. It was at this time that he began to develop some of the concepts you’ll find this amazing book. Having not yet satiated his hunger for learning, he decided to get a Master’s Degree in Science Teaching from Illinois Wesleyan. He also went on to get a Ph.D. in School Administration from the University of Minnesota, completing a 3 state trifecta of the upper Midwest (he hopes to one day get a degree in Iowa to complete the superfecta, but as of print there are no definite plans).
He, a man of infinite compassion, has always placed the benefit of others before himself. From his noble beginnings as a small school science teacher, he has always strived to share his passion of learning and knowledge with those around him. It was this yearning that was the genesis of the Teaching Continuum model laid out in the book. He constantly sought out more efficient ways of increasing student learning. It would be a safe assumption to say that his student’s still retain the information he helped them to learn over 50 years ago.ver menos
