Welcome to my learning page! My name is Mr. Ivan and I am incredibly excited to have you in my class as I absolutely love student leadership.

I am originally from Colorado Springs, but have lived in Fort Collins, Fort Morgan and even Madrid, Spain. One of my biggest passions in life is traveling! I have traveled to over 27 different countries, been 5 out of the 7 continents and on one trip I was even able to circumnavigate the globe.

I got my bachelors degree and teachers license from Colorado State University in History for Social Studies teaching. I am currently in a Graduate Program for Curriculum Development at the University of Northern Colorado.

This is my second year as a teacher at Fossil Ridge, but my 5th year teaching as a whole. I have taught a variety of classes such as World History, AP World History, US History, AP US History, History of Rock, Geography, English Language Development, Reading Intervention and Student Council. For this year, I will be teaching SaberCat 101, Leadership Foundations, as well as being the advisor for RIDGE Leadership. All class materials and updates on assignments will be posted on Google Classroom.

If you ever need to contact me regarding class please email me at tivan@psdschools.org. Thank you!
