Ron Burkhart, English teacher

contact: rburkhart@communityschoolhouse.org

Ron is an English teacher who has been working in education for the past 12 years. He moved to the Willamette Valley in 1992 from his home state of Pennsylvania after graduating from Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, VA with his secondary English teaching certificate.

Ron’s pursuits before education involved supervision in the bakery industry, sports officiating, and retail book sales.  Educationally, he has 8 years experience teaching English to juniors and seniors, three years as an assistant principal, and two years as an admissions director.  Ron has also substitute-taught for one year at the middle school level with several long-term assignments.  He was also involved in a cross-country “school on wheels” called Global Trek and helped to design a middle school curriculum activated through the Internet.   Ron has added TAG Advocate and 504 Advocate to his list of Community Schoolhouse duties.

Ron blends a love of kids with a desire to help his students learn to the best of their abilities.  In his free time Ron is an avid reader, bicycler, and sports fan.  He also officiates PAC 10 softball as well as high school volleyball and basketball.  Ron and his wife Jessica reside in their “green” home surrounded by plants and a garden and are kept busy with their two boys, Canon and Alder.
