Curriculum

All course materials, lesson plans, syllabi, curriculum maps, and grading rubrics are available here. It is my goal to make my classroom curriculum as transparent as possible.

While tests and answer keys are not available for public viewing they are available for educators upon request. If are you interested in obtaining copies of my exams, contact me and I will gladly provide them.

I am currently teaching economics and basic computing. Materials for those are available at this time. These page are updated frequently.
