Rob Carey
I have been a classroom teacher for over 20 years and have worked in education for over 30 years, teaching in public, private, charter, and international schools. Fifteen of those years were spent teaching in Germany at the Black Forest Academy, a school established for the children of missionaries. As a teacher my attitude was always “Do whatever it takes to reach every student,” even if that means trying something that no one has ever tried before. I enjoy curriculum development, Biblical integration, art integration, educational technology, and teacher development.
