Will's Story
Life
My bio...Where to start!? I work at PSU as a professor in the Graduate School of Education. I finished my Doctorate in Educational Leadership in December 2005. Finally, my life feels as if it is settling into some natural rythms of living.
I've traveled extensively and lived in both France and Italy. My love of language never left me thanks to McKay!
My family is very close as we've all moved to the Portland area. I spend time with my sister's family; her children have all attended and gratuated from my lab school at PSU. My partner and I have been together for the past 9 years. We're quite happy with our puppies, two shiba inu dogs. Even with our age difference of 7-y...Expand for more
ears, we found that we both attended McKay High! Funny, huh?!
I've written a book entitled, Teacher Learning: Documentation, Collaboration, and Reflection, which came through my dissertation work. The doctoral program was a wild ride and has opened my up to lifelong learning. I teach quite a bit now and find my passion is in working with adults in a teaching and learning atmosphere. Recently, I've been introduced to a teacher currently at McKay. She is in my Master's program at PSU. Life is just getting good in my ealry forties. It all wraps in on itself at some point, I suppose. How about for you all? How is life unfolding?
I supppose that's all for now...signing off,
Will
