Joe Bianchi

I am an inspiring teacher, whose focus is in adolescent social studies / special education. One of my core beliefs are to challenge students and then re-challenge them to the point of no return. I will try to accomplish this by introducing new methods of teaching and learning. If you teach out-side the box, I feel your strudents will think outside the box. Creativity is contagious but inorder to unleash it, we as educational leaders must explore it and ultimately discover it within each and every student. Imagine a classroom that the students do not want to leave or course material that is loooked forward to. By teaching from many differant views and angles, even thruough the students perspective a classroom becomes extremely productive, it "changes the ordinary into extrordinary"!

About Me

I am from Rochester, N.Y. I attended Aquinas Institute in early 1990's. Excelled in football, baseball and boxing. My parents shipped me off to Canisius College in Buffalo N.Y. to get away from the craziness in Rochester. Unfortunately is was complete insanity at Canisius. Lived with twelve football, baseball, basketball players and lets say I was on double secret probation for most of my college career. Left there with a BA in Sociology/Political Science, but couldn't tell you what the fourth President of the United States was. I then ended up selling cars for the next ten years, putting my 40k education to good use and making my parents very proud of me. I eventually moved to Niagara Falls to work at Seneca Niagara Casino as an executive host. Stayed there for about five years until I came to the conclusion that I was spending more money then I was making. Eventually, I decided to further my educational career, since I did so well the first time I decided to try it again the second. So here I am at Roberts Wesleyan College ready to endualge in a teaching career. I could be reached at joseph_bianchi@roberts.edu  for further discussion.
