About   (request update)
Professor David D. Duncan was born and raised in Monmouth County, New Jersey. After attending and graduating from the fine public school system of Tinton Falls, he attended Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia, where he earned his B.A. degree in Mass Communications/Public Relations. Being hired by his alma mater right after graduation, he joined the Dean of Students’ staff as a dormitory director and attended Atlanta University (now Clark Atlanta University). There, he earned his M.A. degree in English and Reading Education.
Graduating in 1984, Professor Duncan accepted a full-time teaching position at Palm Beach Junior College (now Palm Beach State College), where he has taught everything from preparatory English and Strategies for College Success, to Composition (1 and 2), Writing about Literature, American Literature (Before and After 1865), African American Literature , Women in Literature, and Bible as Literature courses. He has also taught with colleagues across the curriculum in bridge programs and team teaching projects and has served in educational leadership positions such as department chair, cluster chair, and interim associate dean of Communication, Lake Worth Location.
Current Whereabouts:
The majority of my time is taken up with the responsibilities of teaching and serving my students and working alongside my collegues and the administration as an English and Education professor at Palm Beach State College.
Life & Professional Aspirations:
As long as I am teaching, learning, and leading, in whatever capacity, I am a happy fella! I have served Palm Beach State College for 29 years now. In 1 year, I can retire, so I don't know if I will continue to remain here serving or venture out into some other adventures related to teaching and administrating. Over the years as a professor, I have developed many teaching and learning techniques and strategies that would benefit any school or business. I am definitely an innovator!
