Exploring Careers as an Educator and Author
"On a quiet day in late October, a small terrorist cell carries out a carefully coordinated takeover of Thurber high School - 500 teachers and students are taken hostage to be exchanged for an Al Quaida terrorist scheduled for execution" - excerpted from "Leave No Child Behind" by R. Overbeck. Dr. O. Randolph Overbeck is a 30-year educator, currently assistant superintendent with the Xenia Community Schools, an accomplished writer (published in newspapers, journals and trade publications), now shares his first work of fiction. Dr. Overbeck has served public education as a teacher, administrator, and college professor. He will talk about many aspects as a career educator and now the delight of having a book published. Getting a book published is a long process. First, having the idea, then the discipline to research the topic, developing the story in writing, and finally, securing a publisher. The work doesn't stop there - next, the book signings and promotions, then starting the process over again. Dr. Overbeck will discuss careers in education, as an author, and his future endeavors.
