Omaha North High Magnet School

What grade level(s) do you teach? :

Which PLTW courses are you currently teaching?:
Digital Electronics
What inspired you to become the PLTW instructor?:
The first time I saw the curriculum and the support network, I knew that I wanted to teach the PLTW classes. PLTW teachers are very supportive of everyone and will not hesitate to help a fellow teacher.
Explain the impact the PLTW curriculum program has had your students?:
Students who take a PLTW class are better prepared for whatever they do after high school. The rigorous curriculum makes them use problem solving skills on a daily basis. Working in groups helps them to learn how to get along and work with others. Many of our students move on to the college level better prepared for the demands of an engineering degree.
