Blackboard site: www.bb91.misd.net

Blackboard is an online learning tool that allows students to generate their own knowledge through online research, collaborative learning, and discussion forums. Using Blackboard allows the teacher to "share" the power of learning. Due to the student interactions that take place, Blackboard requires a username and password to enter. Be sure to log into the site regularly (www.bb91.misd.net). Your user name is ric followed by your student number (for example, ric232323), and your password will be the last four digits of your home phone number. If you don't have a home phone number then the password is 12345.

I started teaching in Richmond during the 1990-91 school year.

Choosing a career in teaching was easy. I enjoyed high school and I liked my teachers. Other than my parents, my teachers were some of the most influential people in my life. It is a thrill to me to get to know a new group of students every year, challenge them to learn science, and hopefully be a positive influence in their education. 

Outside of the Classroom:
In addition to my teaching duties I am also involved in coaching JV football, CPR team, and the vice president of the REA. 

I am also a member of the National Science Teachers Association, The Michigan Science Teachers Association, and the Michigan Association for Computer Users in Learning. 

I have three adult children Nichole (teacher), Noelle (dietician), and Caleb (Army). I like working out and riding my specialized road bike (bicycle). I also enjoy playing the drums when I get a chance. I am also a huge Michigan Wolverine fan. Go Blue!!!
