Position:
Teacher of Automotive TechnologyBackground
I am a 8 Time ASE Master Technician, Factory Trained Technician and have worked forfor all 5 divisions of General Motors, Honda, Toyota, and BMW.I am also a NJ State Inspector and Emissions Repair Technician and I have been teaching professionally since 1995.Teaching Philosophy:
Teaching through “inquiry” involves engaging students in the
learning process with instructor support and coaching at a
level appropriate to their starting skills. Students learn
automotive specific content but in doing so, engage and
refine their inquiry skills, thinking and problem solving abilities.
I feel the most important thing is the ability to "think" rather
than memorize.
The goals of the automotive program fall into three categories;
To prepare students for post-secondary education,
To prepare students to enter the automotive industry,
and to prepare students for ASE certification.
This program is taught at the AST level and is nationally certified.
