Mr. W. Andy Dobbie
UAIS Group 3 - History of World Civilizations

My career began in 2001 teaching in the social studies department Jeannette Junior High School.  There, I worked with a team of dedicated professionals to create a new course for the district, Global Issues-an experience that has proven invaluable in my curriculum development for the UAIS.  After five years of teaching at Jeannette, I moved to Stevenson High School where I taught US History, World History and the inaugural AP World History at that school.  During that time, I also worked with the UAIS Curriculum Planning team in the development of the Group 3 curriculum.  That experience solidified my desire to teach in this program, which became a reality in the fall of 2009.  Having the opportunity to work with exceptional students from throughout the Utica community has been the highlight of my career and I am so excited to aid these students in their pursuit of the prestigious IB Diploma.
