A graduate of King’s College (B.A.), University of Maryland (M.A.), Johns Hopkins University (M.L.A. and M. Ed.), Don spent most of his teaching career in the public schools of Baltimore County Maryland, where he taught all ability levels of high school English.
During his first year of teaching, Barry, a student in his 10th grade English class, inadvertently helped Don discover the sentence-composing approach to writing improvement. Click here for Barry’s story.
Since then, Don, with his wife Jenny, researched, developed, tested, and expanded the sentence-composing approach and published numerous acclaimed texts and other educational materials featuring that approach.
Don has taught at a variety of high schools and colleges in the Baltimore area, including Johns Hopkins University, where he and his wife Jenny currently teach sentence composing for adults.
