Michael Pennington
I am currently in my third year of teaching. I completed my (extended) student-teaching with Garth at Beachwood Middle School. I was hired at Chardon Middle School, and have spent my entire career teaching seventh grade world history at Chardon Middle. I graduated with a BA of social science from Lake Erie College and earned my MA of history from Cleveland State University. I stayed at CSU to complete my 7-12 integrated social studies teaching license. In the fall of 2010 I will be teaching Social Studies Methodology at Kent State University. Over the past few years I have hosted several professional development opportunities for staff within my district and was fortunate enough to be part of a presentation team at eTech Ohio (2007),
Outside of the classroom I am fortunate to be married to a wonderful woman, Christina, and we have two children. Kyle is currently a eigth grader and Olivia just turned 1 year old. When I am not trying to make a positive difference in education, I am out on my Harley.
