"Tales of a Storyteller: My Observations on Teaching Physics in High School and College"
Dr. David Baran (VU 1983), Lincoln-Way Central High School, New Lenox, IL
Many times in a person's life, he or she makes a career change. I made the change from a position as a research scientist and Department of Energy official to that of a high school (and college) physics teacher. This is a brief talk about my experiences, my observations, and my feelings about the change. It has been a long, strange journey!
