Michael Goldfine

After graduating from high school poorly prepared for college, Michael Goldfine dropped out several times, hitch-hiking across North Africa for 10 months and Central America for eight months. Michael became a reader and eventually shocked everyone who knew him by becoming an English teacher. After earning a full scholarship and completing a Masters of Literature at Bread Loaf School of English, he spent a semester hitch-hiking around the country observing 20 dynamic Bread Loaf teachers in 14 states to improve his own practice. Michael married and helped raise two daughters in central PA where he taught high school English in public school for 33 years.
