Jeff's Story

School I enjoyed high school. I probably should have put more effort into my classes - which would have made the first year of college a lot easier. Several teachers inspired me to become a teacher myself, and to push my students to reach their highest goals. Workplace I teach the nationally reknown B-TV program at Batchelor Middle School in Bloomington, Indiana. My students have won many state, national, and International awards for their videos. The group has produced two full length movies, a major three hour documentary about World War II, and many other award winning projects. The students work has been featured in Hollywood, and on the Kennedy Center Web-site. I took a crew of four students to Poland in January to be part of the official International Press Corps for the 60th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz Ceremony at Auschwitz-Birkeneau. They were the only kids on the press corps, and worked alongside of all the major networks. There were over 40 Heads of State at the Ceremony. They were interviewed by the BBC.

s to Atlanta, Dallas, Anaheim/Los Angeles, and Chicago to accept awards and have their work featured. I will be taking nearly 30 students to Orlando in October. The students have been honored by the National School Board Association, and by the Indiana State Legislature (twice). They were also certified as one of only a handful of middle school programs accepted into the CNN Student Bureau. As a teacher, I am listed in the 2005 Who's Who Among America's Teachers, am a 2005 Armstrong Teaching Award winner at IU, and have won at least one Educator of the Year Award at either the local or state level each of the last five years. I have been teaching since 1985, and have been at Batchelor since 1992. I have also been the head football coach, head wrestling coach, and head track coach at Batchelor in recent years. I had the fortune of coaching future state champions in football (including six first team all staters, a Mr. Football, and a current NFL starter), wrestling, girls' track, and boys' track. I was fortunate enough to coach over forty state finalists.
