ERIC BULL Department Chair, William Jessup University After teaching the wonder of learning to kids in K-8 for close to 25 years, I figured it was time to prepare some folks to take my place. I’m excited to be the Department Chair of Teacher Education at William Jessup University, in Rockllin. My family recently relocated to the Sacramento area, in what I call my version of a mid-life crisis (in that it cost a lot of money and created great change in our lives). We are enjoying the seasons, in great contrast to the constant fog of the Monterey Peninsula. I earned a Masters in Administrative Education at San Jose State and a Doctorate in Science Education at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia. I teach collaborative workshops all over the country to new and veteran teachers. I love to travel and experience the art/artisans from different cultures and have lived in Nigeria and Australia. Currently, I am on the Executive Board of Directors for the Resource Area For Teaching (RAFT), a new non-profit specializing in providing materials and workshops to educators. |
