For the past 19 years I have taught Geography in the Lincoln Public School District. In my first year, I was part of a three-person team that wrote the standards and expectations for the new geography curriculum. I also helped select the textbook used by the district. Since then I have continued to be involved in making an impact in our district and on our children’s education in the area of geography. Ten years ago, I left the classroom for nine weeks as the sole writer for the new 9th grade geography curriculum and standards that were implemented nine years ago district wide. This past year I was asked to be on a committee selected by the Nebraska Department of Education to re-write the State Standards for Geographic Education in grades K through 12. Being a teacher is the greatest responsibility I can think of, and I am very fortunate to be able to work in a place such as East High School, which has awesome staff and students.
