Dr. Timothy Reynolds is a Virginia native with roots in the mountains of Appalachia and the farm fields of Michigan. His degrees are from James Madison University and the University of Virginia. He began his teaching career in an inner-city school, building an awareness of cultural differences within the United States. In 1989, he was hired by the United States Department of Defense Dependent Schools, teaching fifth and sixth grades on a U.S. military base in West Germany. After nine years of public school teaching, he returned to the University of Virginia, earning a PhD in curriculum and instruction with an emphasis on comparative international education and teacher professional development. While at the university, he researched at the National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented and served as the program director at University of Virginia’s Summer Conferences and Institutes for Professional Educators: Academic Diversity.
