Cleverly titled, "My First Blog"


Hello all,

Well I just finished a nice Sunday dinner of BBQ ribs, and Brussels Sprouts so what better time than now to post my first blog for this class. All I have to be careful of is not get BBQ sauce on my wife's keyboard.

A little about myself as a means of introduction.
I came into education late in life. After working as a union organizer and business rep for most of my adult professional life I starting working at Portland High School as a Para-educator with Sophomore special ed students. I found that I love the environment so back to school to get my teaching certification. In 1979 I left MSU with Junior status and took up studies in 2000 at Aquinas to finish my Bachelor's degree and I obtained my teaching certification in 2004.

Ahhh student teacher at age 49 on crutches from a recent Achilles tendon surgery with five preps in two different rooms at Laingsburg High School.....I made it! - Still looking for my first teaching job :(

I commit to reading all of your posts and will comment appropriately.

You can find my contact information, including cell, work, and home phone numbers on Blackboard as I don't think this is a very secure place to post that information.

Best of luck to all and I would be more than willing to help with anything I can.

Brad Foltz
