Welcome to my simple website that will let you know about who I am and what I have tried to do both in my life and as an educator to share my concerns about our world and our environment.
A fter sixteen years teaching global and environmental issues-based ESL classes and seminars at Japanese universities, (which culminated in the publication of my textbook series Looking Back, Moving Forward: An Environmental Course for the Next Generation by Macmillan Language House), I was inspired by the birth of my daughter in Spring 2006 to move on to a new challenge.
I had discovered that I wished to become an 'environmental educator' rather than an English teacher who focused on the environment and to become a part of an institute where the environmental values I hope to instill in young people in the classroom could be put into practice in the school setting itself as well as in the students' daily lives.
