"Where
you learn why you learned everything else!"My name is Mr.
McClure. I was born in Alexandria Virginia. Shortly after my
birth, my family moved to Europe as a result of my father
assignment with the USAF. We spent the next six years both
in Germany and France. Once my family returned to the
states, I continued with my elementary and secondary
education (FMA)
in Virginia. After high school, I attended George Mason
College for two years. Three decades later I would finish my
undergraduate education at ASU with a Bachelor of Science
degree in Political Science. My quest to
enter the field of education started during my tenure at
Xerox Corporation in the late seventies and early eighties.
I worked both as a technician and a sales representative
during my fifteen years at Xerox. My most rewarding
assignment in both jobs at Xerox involved training new hire
employees. I was charged with ensuring that new hire
employees were prepared to begin and successfully perform
their job responsibilities. Through classroom work, on the
job coaching and field training, I personally trained
numerous Xerox new hires in both technical and marketing
areas. The personal and professional rewards from these
experiences are my fondest memories of my time at Xerox.
Now I am
working with high school students in much the same way I did
with new hire employees. Xerox provided me with the
techniques and tools needed to train employees. Additional
awareness and knowledge gained in undergraduate and post
baccalaureate coursework in secondary education has ensured
my success as a classroom instructor. I enjoy my current
assignment as a teacher in the Applied Technology Department
at Sunnyslope High School - GUHSD. My entire life
has prepared me for my teaching assignment. All my work
either as a mechanic, technician, marketing representative
or business owner has taught me to plan, implement and
follow through. I bring to the classroom many diverse and
varied experiences that formed my strong work ethic and
commitment to my students at Sunnyslope.
