Nathan Finch
Director of Program Development

Nathan has been managing the Program Development team at WIDE World since its inception. Nathan works with instructors to develop courses, monitor their success, and make WIDE World's educational experience both academically rigorous and immensely enjoyable.

During the course of those twelve years he worked on Multiple Intelligences theory, Teaching for Understanding, Authentic Assessment, and, more generally, improving teacher practice.
