Education & Teaching Career

This will be my fifth year of teaching - all of them at CD Middle. I am a 2006 graduate of Shippensburg University, where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Education with a major in History. I graduated from Wilkes University in 2007, receiving a Master's Degree in Education with a major in Classroom Technology. I am currently working toward a second Master's Degree in Educational Administration, as well as working toward my Principal Certificate.

SMART Technologies has named me a SMART Exemplary Educator, and this past summer, I was selected by SMART Technologies to attend an educational technology summit in Calgary, Canada. Only 50 educators in the United States and Canada were selected for this honor. I have attended Microsoft's Teacher Leader Institute, and was named a STAR Educator by the Discovery Channel's Discovery Educator Network. The Pennsylvania PTA has also honored me wtih a Lifetime PTA Membership.

In addition to teaching Social Studies at CD Middle, I am involved in many committees/groups in our district:

- Social Studies Department Chair

- District Technology Integration Facilitator

- CDMS S.A.D.D. Co-Advisor

- CDMS Faculty Advisory Committee

- District Improvement Committee

- District Community Task Force

- CDMS Musical Stage Crew Advisor

- CDMS PTA

- CDMS SAP Team Member

- District Code of Coduct Review Committee

- District Drug, Alcohol, & Safety Education Team

- District Technology Committee

Personal Life

I know that many teachers don't share much personal information with their students. During the course of the school year, I hope to get to know my students on a personal level, so I think it is only fair that they know some things about me.

My first name is Glenn. I am married - my wife's name is Laura. We have a three year old West Highland Terrier named Puddles. We live in downtown Harrisburg. In my spare time, I like to listen to music, read, run, and work on home improvement projects. I also enjoy traveling, and over the summer, my wife and I went on a number of trips, including Mount Vernon, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and several trips to New York City.
