The Society for Intercultural Education, Training and Research - Houston
I recently retired as a teacher of high school world geography and history at Scarborough High School. I have a B.A. in History from U. of Arizona, a M.Ed. in Social Studies Curriculum and Instruction from U. of Houston, and a M.A. in Cross-Cultural Studies at U.H. Clear Lake. In June, I completed a NCTA study tour of China and in September, a trip to Spain and Portugal. My hobbies include playing Russian folk music, reading, traveling and learning Spanish. I am a volunteer at the Houston World Affairs Council Outreach program and hope to volunteer at MECA as well.
