Jeff Bradley’s “Guy In A Tie” moniker carries this longtime Ann Arbor science teacher through his day, his week, his school year.

With his philosophy of being kind, polite and thorough in the classroom, his guy-in-a-tie approach brings structure to his classroom, which helps students progress and learn in the technical fields of science and medicine.

“The tie shows that I’m ready, prepared to teach every day,” he said. “It doesn’t mean anything to anyone else, but it means something to me.”

Two of his Web pages carry the theme: guyinatie.com where he podcasts and scienceguyinatie.com where he plans lessons and posts grades and other program information. A third site, skylinehealthmedicine.com introduces students and parents to his program at Skyline.
