Ken is the Co-founder and Executive Director at North Star: Self-Directed Learning for Teens in Sunderland, Massachusetts. I’ve been working intensively with teenagers and their families since 1991.
Previously a middle school social studies teacher, first in Prince George’s County, Maryland, then in Amherst, Massachusetts, he left the Amherst school system to found North Star. He brought along his extensive education and training, including a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Amherst College, and an M.A.T. in Social Studies from Brown University.
He lives in Montague, Massachusetts, with my family.
