Bio:
Anchorage born, Nikiski transplant 30-something father of two littles. I'm stationed at Kenai Middle doing 8th grade Language Arts and Drama. Personal interests include theatre, filmmaking, and bicycles. I teach to create meaningful experiences of discovery and character development. I strive to nurture my students' creative spirit and celebrate risk-taking.

PL Strategy to share: 
I've been focusing on finding the right amount of structure in personalized lessons. Too much limits student agency. Not enough and the work doesn't get done-- students get stuck actualizing their amazing ideas!

Current Driving Question: 
My driving question is how to provide high quality feedback to students with the amount of preparation and after-school time I have. My young kids (rightfully) take a lot of my attention, and I often feel rushed on the work I have to do for my students.​
