I currently serve as an assistant principal for curriculum and instruction at Salem High School in Salem, VA. My duties include creation of our school's master schedule, overseeing academic programs, working with your freshman transition program, and 9th grade discipline. Prior to moving into administration in 2004, I taught World History at Salem High School and was a leader on one of its two freshman teams.
Along with Ray Moore, I am a partner in Solutions, etc., an educational consulting firm providing professional development for educators by educators. While we provide professional development on a wide array of topics, we are most commonly asked to work with schools that are trying to better transition their freshmen.

Robert Burke said… - Scott, I have a question that you may be able to answer. When using "mentors" (older students) what ratio of metor to freshmen do you consider effective or optimal?
We were thinking about five freshman to one mentor! Thanks, Bob

- The workshop in Charlotte was definitely worth the trip. I have already begun using a few of your ideas in my classes. Thanks again!

- Would really like to come Scott, but I am not sure that our school has the funds. We are still waiting for department funds to purchase printer supplies. Our school is under construction while we attempt to teach and everything seems to be discombobulated!

- You know I was thinking of definitely encouraging some of our new teachers to attend, but I think that you may be right; it will be easier to convince them to go if I do as well. Will talk to the boss (principal) tomorrow.

- Hi Scott,
I drove to Toronto. I stopped for a day at Niagara Falls on the way. I had a beautiful day there and got to see several full arch rainbows!!! The gardens near the falls were beautiful. Toronto was primarily for business, the American Psychological Association convention. The conference was fine, but attendance seemed much lighter than in previous years. This was especially noticeable with the high school teachers. My session, Games To Explain Human Factors: Come, Participate, Learn, Have Fun! was very successful, although the attendance was a bit lighter than usual and the room lighting was a bit less than ideal for building a photo album. Thank you for asking...

- Thank You! You have no idea how frustrating it's been thus far. I've purchased your book, though have to have a paper and PPT ready on the action research for the 12th. Am not sure exactly how to proceed since I'm still looking for any documentation of what was done last year and how they intend to tweak it except for adding some higher level freshmen to the mix. Will let you know how I fare later on today.
