I am so excited to be teaching the AP Psychology AND PLTW Human Body Systems here at Center High School! This is my dream gig! It is my passion and why I went into teaching! I am so excited to be able to broaden your knowledge about yourselves and others. Each day brings new insights and discussion!
This is my tenth year at Center High School. I am proud that I brought AP Psych to this campus in 2012 and as half of the team that brought PLTW Biomedical to this campus in 2013.
I have two sons, Ethan and Graham. Both play soccer and the piano; and to my frustration both dislike working in the garden. My lovely wife Amy teaches kindergarten in the Roseville Elementary School District. We met working at the same family restaurant while going to college, she was a waitress and I was a cook.
I am a soccer fan, played through high school. I currently coach my son's U-10 team and coached men's varsity here at Center for one year. Premier League in the UK is my go-to viewing and I can't wait for the new Sac Republic stadium to be completed.
I am available before school and Wednesdays after school for retakes and make ups. Make sure to come see me for extra help or to just discuss further a topic we covered in class that day! Email: chunter@centerusd.org
My background: I was born and raised in a small rural area of Merced, in the central San Joaquin valley off of highway 140. Merced has always had an ethnically diverse population with agriculture as its primary industry. While in school I played soccer, worked (gardener, newspaper delivery, dairy worker, theater usher, dish washer and cook) and enjoyed cars. All of these interests have survived my best efforts to engage them as an adult.
My college education started at Merced Community College, I earned two AA degrees before leaving for UC Davis. From there I joined the US Army Reserves as a signal soldier attached to a MASH Hospital and Signal Corps Company. I picked up my formal education at and graduated from CSU Sacramento. This past year I was awarded Magna Cum Lade honors in completing a masters degree in psychology from Touro University. The concentration was educational psychology to better serve students and offer more in depth learning in psychology.
My teaching career has been diverse. I sought out a teaching job to serve at risk and economically challenged student populations. I taught at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Junior High School in the Twin Rivers Joint Unified School District for two years as a student teacher under contract. I then moved to Center Joint Unified School District at McClellan High School. I taught at MHS, the district's alternative site for seven years; during that time I encountered some of the most interesting positive people and situations of my career . I moved to Center High School where my credential in science and social studies enabled me to teach a variety of classes. I have taught world history, psychology, AP Psychology, sociology, Earth Science, Biology, PLTW Human Body Systems, health, and US government. Teaching credit recovery and remedial summer school for five years facilitated my drive to help at risk students.
I am an active participant in my local government. LINKEDIN
I have or are currently serve on the Measure D Citizen Oversight Committee, RUHSD Steering Committee, LCAP Parent Advisory Committee for the Roseville City School District, West Park Neighborhood Association board member, and have served as School Site Council officer at four different schools. If you are going to talk the talk, you should walk the walk....
I pledge to answer all of your questions honestly and to the best of my ability. If I can't answer your question I will tell you why or direct you to a better resource. I like to work; but I have learned the hard way that smart work is very different than busy work. I will do my best to assign smart work.
Much of this smart work is using technology in our classroom. We have MimioVote student response systems, Chromebooks, Google Classroom and collaborative resources like Peardeck and Quizlet Live! . College Board learning platform will be employed this year for AP Psychology.
