About Me

In Fall of 2016, having received the Competitive Graduate Award, Daniel will begin an M. A. in English Language and Literature at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. Daniel received an M. A. in Education from McKendree University (Lebanon, Illinois) in 2014, and received a B. A. in English from Saint Louis University in 2000.He has taught at the high school level for 14 years. His teaching experience is broad, covering subjects from English to social studies and history to philosophy and theology. His primary areas of expertise are in composition and writing across the curriculum, reading in all content areas, and English and American Literature; however, Daniel finds that teaching well is a skill that transcends the academic disciplines. When he is not teaching, writing, or reading voraciously, Daniel enjoys playing the guitar and piano, and riding his bike along the many bike trails scattered across southern Illinois and Missouri.

Q&A with Daniel

Practice, practice, practice! When I think of someone who is very good at something or very smart in a certain subject, I can't help but notice that the thing that makes them unique is not that they are naturally good at that skill or naturally knowledgeable in that subject. It's that they practice that skill a lot, or they think about that subject a lot. Teaching must be about how to increase opportunities to practice skills and practice thinking about certain subjects.
