I started teaching at Bristol Bay Borough School District August 2007 as a science and math teacher with a woods class on the side. Now I only teach 2 science classes and the rest are shop classes: welding I & welding II, woods I, woods II (furniture), construction trades, design and manufacturing, and 7th grade woods. The wood shop has changed dramatically since the first day I walked in. There are new tools, better organization, less dust, and a lot of project that students are working on. On any given day someone can walking into the shop and find an active bunch of students working on a variety of projects. It has been a crazy process for me to change from a science teacher to a shop teacher, but despite hacking up sawdust after a busy day I deeply love teaching the classes that I do. I get a little shiver up my neck when I see a student finish a project that they have worked so hard at.
