Interviewing young people who are doing note-worthy things and sidebar topics of things going on in the news are my most often assigned projects. I enjoy writing in the content areas of social studies education, science, geography and economics. I have been on the teacher advisory boards for Instructor Magazine and was a teacher advisory for a number of years for Time for Kids until my retirement from teaching. Working as a teacher/consultant, I have also contributed to social studies textbooks and have written sidebars on topics in science and reading for science and reading textbooks. Additionally, I have written social studies test questions for both ACT Testing Company and the New York State Department of Education. Currently, I write teaching guides for Cobblestone's Click, Spider and Ladybug Magazines and also write teaching guides for Studies Weekly's quarterly news publications. From time to time, I am asked to consult with Leanna Landsmann's A+ Advice,a weekly column for parents. I am always looking for assignments in these areas. Please check some of the links below to see samples of my work by click on "Previous Works".
