About+your+instructor



I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction here at ISU. I am based in Chicago, where I work with undergraduate student teachers in a year-long internship program in Chicago public schools. Before coming to ISU, I taught for nine years in Chicago, where I developed a media literacy course and a video-production program for middle school students. (View some of my students' videos [|here.]) Since 2001 I have worked as a teacher educator, preparing undergraduates and career-changers for work in urban classrooms. I've written a couple books -- //[|Holler If You Hear Me: The Education of a Teacher and his Students, 2nd edition]// (Teachers College Press, 2009), and [|See You When We Get There: Teaching for Change in Urban Schools] (Teachers College Press, 2005), and co-edited another, //[|City Kids, City Schools: More Reports from the Front Row]// (The New Press, 2008). This is the first 100% online class I've taught, and I'm already missing the immediacy of the face-to-face experience.
