This is my 40th year as a classroom teacher. I teach AP* European History, AP* Psychology and World History. I teach at Olympic High School in Bremerton, WA. I have been teaching AP* European History for the past 25 years and have been a table leader/reader for the AP* Euro Test since 1997. I have been voted most outstanding table leader. I have also been a consultant to the College Board for the past 6 years and have done workshops in Denver, Colorado, Salt Lake City, Utah, Fresno, California and Phoenix, Arizona. This will be my 3rd visit to the Phoenix Desert Institute. I have done numerous summer programs and workshops for AP* teachers in our District in the Social Studies area. Over the years, I have taught economics, African history, Asian history, world geography, U.S. history, Intro to psychology along with AP* European History and AP* Psychology.
