Obituary of Robin Haskell McBee

Robin Haskell McBee, PhD, (née Haskell) age 64, of Mantua, NJ passed away on December 23, 2017. Legacy Other than spending time with treasured family members and friends, Robin was dedicated to being a teacher. As a young woman, she founded an arts-based elementary school and served as the Executive Director of a non-profit Law Related Education organization that focused on teaching students in the Providence RI Public Schools about issues of law, the US Constitution and competing in mock trials. She continued that work at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA, while serving as faculty member and completing her PhD in Urban Education at VCU. In 1996, Robin accepted a professorial position at Rowan University and pursued her ultimate goal of teaching undergraduate teacher candidates and graduate practicing teachers. Over her 21 years at Rowan, she influenced both her students and colleagues with her high standards for students, constructivist teaching style and message of building classroom community.
