User:Patrick Capriola, Ed.D

I am a professional educator who teaches and works as the STEM director at my school. Over the course of my career, I have served as a behavior specialist, school administrator, and professional development trainer - guiding teachers and principals to help them improve student behavior and academic outcomes. I also founded strategiesforparents.com, a site that provides users access to high-quality research-based content to help with the challenges of parenting and navigating the school system.

I have promoted Wikipedia as a valid source for reliable information for my entire career to students and educators alike. I have always valued the information I found on Wikipedia and wanted to contribute. I finally took the plunge and signed up to do my part for this community.

I see this personally as a way to give back to the unsung hero of the internet. For all of the misinformation out there today, Wikipedia has stayed true to its mission and has done so in a humble way. I look forward to being a frequent contributor to the site.
