The Teaching Press Goes Back to High School: An Interview with Appleton East High Teacher Ryan Marx 

March 4, 2025 / / 0 Comments

Don’t worry, going back to high school isn’t as terrifying as it sounds. In 2024, The Teaching Press created a classroom set of our favorite “foldie-outtie” book, Lower Fox River PCB Clean-Up Timeline, for students at East Appleton High School. In this exclusive interview, we had the chance to speak with environmental science teacher Ryan Marx about his plans to use this book as a teaching tool.

Home Again and Again: Recollections, Stories, Guideposts by Dr. Ann Gentry Recine and Louis Recine is  our Spring/Summer 2024 Teaching Press project, and it is set to launch on August 10th at @ Roots Art and Wine Gallery in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Maybe I’m biased—I mean, I was the Project Manager for the our Hard-Penned Press editorial and design services for this book. But I think this debut memoir has it all: a local Wisconsin author, guideposts for reader’s self-reflection, some crazy life experiences, humor, science that can translate into real life situations, and personable writing.

In fact, our entire summer Teaching Press staff helped create a Top 10 list of reasons why Home Again and Again should be your next book purchase:
