Meet the CCSWP Instructors: Caine

As the 2015 CCSWP fast approaches, I'd like to introduce you to some of our incredible instructors. These are the people that make the CCSWP a success summer after summer. They are all amazing teachers and writers. 

This is Caine. 

I was born and raised in Wethersfield, CT. After high school I attended Plymouth State University in Plymouth, NH where I majored in English and minored in Secondary Education. 

After graduating I moved to Summit County, Colorado and worked as a snow board instructor at Copper Mountain. Following my time in CO I decided to try Maui, Hawaii and simply couldn't leave. I lived on the island and taught English at Baldwin High School for six years. In 2011, I married my wife Jill (also an English teacher) and we decided to move back to Connecticut to start a family. 

On August 25th 2013 my wife gave birth to Makena Elizabeth Schlenker. I have taught English at The Greater Hartford Academy of Arts for the past three years (which means I will be going into my 10th year of teaching! Yikes!) By the time you will have read this my wife will have given birth to our second child.
