I came to TWU in 1990 after having taught in the public school system and at UBC and UW-Milwaukee. So, why TWU and why stay? I plan to blog about some of the distinctives I find at TWU and my reasons for staying here for the past 18 years. I am privileged to have had four of our five children attend TWU and two graduate - so I can also give a parent's perspective. Discussion about my academic areas, Educational Psychology, and Special Education, and research in those areas will also find voice on my blog.

Over the course of the summer I intend to post miscellaneous thoughts and musings that will help you know who I am, what my scholarly and personal passions are, and why you would be a welcome member of one of my classes at Trinity Western University.
