Belasco's World

Mr. Belasco

Wow, hard to believe that another year has gone out with the tides. Well, one thing we all know watching our ocean is that as tides ebb they also flow. Before we know it we will be back together. Nevertheless, we have some time between to slow down and enjoy the sun, sand, and of course a book or two. I will most likely catch glipmse of you somewhere through the course of our days, If I don't feel free to drop me a line with any questions about summer reading.

Welcome to my home away from home on the internet. I have been teaching English at LCMR for 17 years. At this time I have taught everything from Ninth Grade General English to Twelfth Grade AP Language and Composition. Currently I teach Advanced Placement Literature and Composition, Tomorrow's Teachers(Future Educators), and Public Speaking/Debate. While AP courses will pose a greater challenge than any other English class you have ever had, if you stay with it the benefits will also be greater than you have expereienced before. I have been working since school let out... If you are looking for a brief personal biography, feel free to click personal biography.

Professionally, I graduated from Rutgers College in 1989 with a B.A. in American Literature. Following a few years of exploring the country and working in outdoor recreation, I went back to earn a post-baccalaureate degree in English Education from Glassboro(now Rowan). After student teaching in Vineland High School (9-10 building), I secured a position teaching tenth grade Honors English at Vineland High School. After teaching there for one year, I moved to the D’Ippolitto Middle School where I taught for two years. After three years in Vineland I had the opportunity to return home. I have been at LCMR since 1992, and I am currently the English Department Liaison. Additionally, I have coached both swimming and diving. I am currently the LCMR Student Council Advisor. If you wish to see my resume just Email me.

Come see what I am reading... and please email me some suggestions
