Session II
Instructor: Dabney Standley
Standley's background includes six years of teaching, right out of college, at independent schools on the East coast, followed by twenty years working for high technology companies. His work with tech companies began in graduate school at NYU where he consulted for Verizon's research and development division prototyping possible uses of digital technology in the classroom. Before returning to teaching many years later, he led product development projects, honed corporate strategies, and consulted for a number of companies, including Apple, McGraw-Hill, and SRI International, as well as a couple of UK-based start-up companies. Having taken twenty years to figure out how and when to return to the classroom, Standley is now in his 11th year at SHC and is still thrilled to be back teaching. He is the Director of the Inquiry and Innovation Program, teaches computer programming and history classes, and is a faculty advisor to the Student Launch Initiative.
