About Me
I am a re-entry student working on my M.Ed and secondary teaching credentials in Social Studies and History. I have been working with youth for the past 15 years as a director of a community non-profit organization and want to expand my work with youth into the classroom.

    Hi Mark, I actually work in the Career Center. I teach job-readiness classes, and I used to teach ESL. I'm currently teaching a career prep class for first-year Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math students.

    Hey Mark,

    Our Brainyflix video contest just ended, and I wanted to thank you for helping us get the word out. We got 800 submissions from across the country!

    That said, MIT was really happy with the results and will let us run another contest, so we're going for it! But this time, we're gonna have kids create Brainypics flashcards - which are images and sentences paired up with a one of our SAT/ACT words. The contest ends May 22nd, and there'll be iTunes and a cash prize like last time. To boot, we'll double the payout if the kids can hit a certain goal. More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules.

    Do you mind passing my message along to students and your colleagues again?

    Thanks,
    Jack
