Mr. Bentley’s Driving School
Description

Welcome! My name is Eric Bentley. I first discovered my passion for teaching as an 18 year old resident camp counselor in Holly, Michigan. I took the job because 80 bucks a week, plus room and board meant I got to move out on my own. At the time, I had no idea that I was about to happen upon my life’s calling.

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Education from the University of Michigan, my Master’s Degree in Curriculum & Teaching from Michigan State University, and a special endorsement in Educational Technology, also from MSU. Perry Public Schools welcomed me as a middle school math teacher in 1994. In 1999, I began teaching 3rd and 4th grade. Identifying the growing need for technology instruction, I created and became the teacher of an elementary technology course that now all Perry Kindergarten through fourth grade students participate.

Throughout my career as an educator, I have sought out people in need and opportunities of service. Such opportunities have included…

Empowering all children, including those identified as having special needs, by providing a variety of experiences that fosters and supports all learning styles,

Tutoring home-bound high school students in core academic areas,

Facilitating support groups of at-risk pre-teen and teenagers, and

Teaching writing at MSU’s Spartan Writing Camps and being inducted as a Fellow of the National Writing Project
