Andrew Pass has been working in schools for nearly twenty years. He has taught from kindergarten to post-college graduates. Andy loves facilitating learning opportunities in which students, both children and adults, learn from one another. Andy’s students know that he loves telling dynamic stories. He loves kidding around and has been referred to as “the worst behaved kid” in the classroom. However, at the end of the day, Andy loves pushing people to think about important ideas in critical ways.
Andy is active in professional and community organizations. He is currently the representative for the Michigan
Council of Social Studies Region 10 and is a member of the Association
for Supervision and Curriculum Development and the National Council
for Teachers of English. Within his place of worship, he is a former
board member and a current member of the Men's Club Executive
Committee. Each year Andy participates in a "Housing the Homeless"
initiative, typically as a volunteer coordinator. He simply enjoys
being a part of things and trying to make a difference.
