I am an adjunct professor in City College's graduate and undergraduate programs in elementary education. I bring a progressive alternative approach to social studies students whose only experience of social studies is banking and regurgitating information, text and test. I have been a classroom teacher in elementary and middle schools since 1973, teaching for thirty years in the country’s preeminent progressive school, the Bank Street School in New York City, and in the New York City public schools since 2012. I developed a potent, hands-on method of teaching geography with a three-dimensional terrain model. With this terrain model, I have conducted hundreds of professional development workshops in “Hands-on Geography,” working with school districts, teacher centers, and museums from New Hampshire to Florida, and internationally in Israel, Costa Rica, and Kathmandu, Nepal.
