Personal Bio: |
Mr. Zacharias holds a BA in History from Oregon State University, Cum Laude, and an MA in History from Washington State University as a James Madison Memoria Foundation Senior Fellow. His initial teaching certificate was earned through a joint program of Portland State University and Judson Baptist College and his Standard Endorsement was earned through Eastern Oregon University (where his four children all attended). His first teaching assignment was with the Enterprise School District in 1983 and he has steadily moved west ever since. His master's thesis, Lest We Forget, analyzed the development of constitutionalism in the United States from the Revolutionary movement to Oregon's admittance into the Union in 1859. The Oregon focus of his thesis became the Oregon chapter in the encyclopedia of U.S. Constitutions, The Uniting States, published by Greenwood Press, 2004.
Mr. Z is set to commence his 34th year as a social science and language arts educator over five school districts in rural eastern Oregon. He is most noted for winning multiple student selected inspirational awards and for a record of developing college readiness curriculum as well as dual credit initiatives. He has also served as adjunct professor of US History and Political Science for Blue Mountain Community College for more than a decade. |
