Education
The truth is, most of my truly valuable and authentic education has been, and continues to be, informal.
Master's Degree in Science Teaching
Eastern Oregon University
July 2002 - July 2003
After being a professional educator for a couple of decades, I decided to go legitimate, or at least mainstream, and I earned an MTE in education. I did my student teaching at Joseph High School.

Graduate Studies in Astrophysics and Geophysics
University of Washington
SUNY Buffalo
University of Oregon
July 1984 - August 1991
I never could reach closure in graduate school. I earned countless credits, worked on some great projects, but, ultimately did not earn an advanced degree. I was not made for academia.
Education
I am very grateful for my MIT education. I felt that I was treated as a unique, creative individual and honored for my strengths rather than criticized for my weaknesses.
Bachelor's Degree in Physics
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Aug 1980 - June 1984
Minor in math. I published a version of my undergraduate thesis in The Astrophysics Journal, a peer-reviewed journal. Winner of the Polaroid award for service to the physics department. The award was for the unique peer tutoring program I developed.
