Hello, my name is Dana Melone. I grew up in the Chicago area but went to college in Iowa where I received my BA in Psychology and Education as well as my Masters in Teaching and I am almost done with a Masters in Psychology. I continue to live and teach in Cedar Rapids, Iowa at Cedar Rapids Kennedy High School. In total I have 21 years of teaching experience and 16 of those years have been at Kennedy. I have taught AP Psychology every single day of my career and I truly love it.
I also like to stay very involved in the Psychology community at large. I have worked for the College Board in a variety of ways since 2006. In 2006 I became an AP Psychology Reader and continued to work as a reader during the summer for many years. For the past 8-10 years or so I have also worked as a Table Leader and Pre-Team Table Leader for the AP Psychology reading. I love working as a consultant for the AP institutes and I am very excited. For the past 6 years I have also been a part of the American Psychological Association’s Teachers of Psychology in Secondary Schools committee in roles ranging from member at large to chair of the committee. I also help run the Iowa Teachers of Psychology annual conference and social.
Dana Melone is teaching one workshop at Augsburg this summer. See our registration site with the button below.
