Bradley Stabler
High School English Teacher, Amateur Horse Trainer, and Jack-of-most-trades in Michigan
I am passionate about education as a teacher and learner. Ever since high school I have lived the life of an active mind. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in Russian Studies while working as a carpenter and foreman of a construction crew. Currently, I am enrolled as a graduate student in English Literature at Wayne State University. I am interested in Medieval and Early Modern Literature, specifically, self-representation within religious and historical texts.
I have taught introductory and intermediate courses on composition, rhetoric, and research methods there for the past four years. I have also worked as a teaching assistant at the International Academy East, the top public school in the state, for five years. In April 2014, I received both my Provisional Teaching Certificate and Master of Arts in English. Currently, I am employed by Oakland International Academy High School in Hamtramck, MI. I work, predominantly, with students from the Yemeni and Bengali immigrant communities.
When not working, I like to travel and scuba dive and will probably bore you with stories of these activities or about my dogs and horses. My wife and I recently bought a horse farm in rural, northern Oakland County. We're looking forward to this new chapter in our lives!
