Kim Grewe Class of 1988
I have been a full time community college English teacher for the past 5 years. Not only do I teach English classes,
but I also teach speech, humanities, and instructional communication. I work exclusively with future teachers in a couple
of these classes, which I enjoy immensely. I also have done online scoring for the writing portion of the SAT, and I teach
online versions of a couple of the English classes offered here at Wor-Wic Community College on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
Over the past 2 or 3 years I have presented at various conferences both local and regional. These presentations focus on
my teaching practices, philosophy of education, and successes I have had in the classroom.
In some capacity or another I have been a teacher for the past 20 years. I have taught middle school and high school.
I have coached boys and girls middle school basketball, high school girls basketball, jv and varsity girls volleyball, and
softball. I have started and advised many clubs and organizations during my career, including an athletic booster club,
a junior beta club, an Odyssey of the Mind team, intramural sports, the guitar club, the Arts Club, and The Wor-Wic Wave (college
newspaper), to name a few. I have taught all sorts of students from learning disabled to remedial to gifted and talented,
from ages 11 to 65.
I have devoted my life to teaching and learning. I have had great success and joy over the past 20 years in this profession.
Besides the people, I love the fact that this work provides me the opportunity to constantly read and learn new stuff. I
even keep a journal of everything I read and have been doing that since 1993.
I welcome communication from any of you, old friends or new: kgrewe@worwic.edu
SVC Memories:
Dr. Snyder gave me my first B ever on an essay. I had been a straight A student all of my life -- until Snyder. I was
incredulous upon receiving the tainted document. I looked at him in disbelief. My look asked him, nay beseeched him, "Don't
you know who I am?" He and I still joke about my hubris, fall from grace, and eventual resurgence as an A thinker and
writer.
