Troy Cline is the Educational Technologist of NASA's Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum team. Before coming to NASA, Troy was a high school mathematics teacher and Educational Technology Coordinator at an alternative high school in Virginia, working with 'at-risk' students. During that time he also completed a Master's degree in Educational Technology and Leadership at The George Washington University in Washington D.C. His undergraduate was in education with a strong focus on science and mathematics.
Prior to working in Virginia, his teaching career took him to some exceptional places beginning with his first teaching experience on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Kinlichee, AZ. While there he taught in a Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding school for three years. He later joined the United States Peace Corps and served in Chad, Africa, as an Algebra and Geometry teacher. That experience involved living in a mud hut and teaching over three hundred Chadian students in a classroom made of elephant grass. At that time, the Chadian government was attempting to create a stabilized educational system so that as the country became more developed, an effective structure would already be in place.
