Originally Published on https://boomersnotsenior.blogspot.com/
I served as a teacher, a teacher on Call, a Department Head, a District Curriculum, Specialist, a Program Coordinator, and a Provincial Curriculum Coordinator over a forty year career. In addition, I was the Department Head for Curriculum and Instruction, as well as a professor both online and in person at the University of Phoenix (Canada) from 2000-2010.
I also worked with Special Needs students. I gave workshops on curriculum development and staff training before I fully retired
