Chris Nelson – Editor

I have written and edited K-12 educational materials, textbooks, ancillary material, and online programs for the last 18 years.

Overview

I have been an editor in K-12 educational materials, textbooks, ancillary material, and online programs for the last 18 years. Before that I had 6 years of classroom experience in Chicago schools. I've written so many lessons I can't remember them all. The most recent project was a K-5 textbook series (Nystrom Young Citizen) that used comics along with more traditional sources to create a fun student experience.
