​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.
 
Upon graduation, Dr. Reynolds joined the faculty at Roanoke College, serving as an assistant and associate professor of teacher education and chair of the education department. As chair, he led the education program to its first national accreditation. He also served as the co-director of the Copenhaver Institute for Teaching and Learning and as a steering committee member of the Southwest Virginia Clinical Faculty Consortium. Both programs are professional development venues for in-service teachers.
 
In 2014, wanting to return to K-12 international education, Dr. Reynolds resigned his tenured position at Roanoke College. He taught at the American School in Switzerland and Skagerak International School in Norway.  In 2016, he joined the administrative team that opened Norway’s first public, English speaking, PYP school. In July 2018, he accepted the position of principal at Provincetown Schools, continuing a lifetime calling of teaching and educating for local, national, and international understanding. As his Provincetown tenure begins, look for activity in the following areas.

• Increasing enrollment in all programs through strategic planning and outreach to international families living on The Cape.
• Strengthening understanding and implementation of the MY and PY Programs through professional development and curriculum alignment.
•  Developing and implementing a strategic plan for school growth and improvement.
