Biography

  • James Foss has worked in early childhood and elementary education both nationally and internationally for over 20 years. He loves to teach and a concern for the rights of children is his inspiration for research on teacher personal epistemology, teacher guided inquiry, and constructivist principles for learning. He currently resides in Grand Forks, ND, with his wife and 3 children, who interestingly enough, were all born on different continents. He likes to read and ride his bicycle, but never at the same time.
