Our book Middle Schoolin' might be of interest to the staff and students of your education program. We both changed careers and became teachers. Frank holds a bachelor's degree in English and a master's in education. Paul possesses a bachelor's in electrical engineering, a master's in education, and is a National Board Certified Teacher.
