Paul Magnuson

Educator and Author

I attribute much of my innovation in teaching and learning to 20 years of summer camp experience. Never underestimate the power of learning when unfettered from “regular” school! Years of experience in school improvement with US federal education programs, coupled with classroom teaching from elementary through graduate school (e.g. world languages, ESL, music, teaching licensure, applied linguistics, and leadership) bring both perspective and depth.

Since 2008 I’ve held several roles at Leysin American School, including middle school and summer school leadership, accreditation systems, curriculum development, and professional development through action research. Since 2015 I’ve also taught in administration, international education, and teacher licensure, first at Endicott College and since 2020 at Moreland University.

I hold a PhD in Curriculum & Instruction from the University of Minnesota, a ScrumMaster certification in Agility, and a ten year hobby of language learning with Duolingo, whom I met once in person. Well, more like in owl, if you see what I mean.
