Position desired: Teacher
Subjects you can teach: 7-12 Humanities Teacher, 7-12 Literature Teacher, 7-12 Philosophy Teacher, 7-12 Theology Teacher
Willing to relocate to: Midwest, Northeast, Southeast
Summary:
I wish to build on the teaching career I undertook in the Fall of 1980. For the most part, the teaching I have undertaken has been among college and university and theological seminary students.
I welcome the challenge of working with younger students.
It is also of considerable interest to behold and appreciate how theological orientation “filters down” to influence some administrative and, indeed, educational practices and policies.
