...high school). Whenever possible I try to teach using the Socratic method, as I find that the process of guided discovery helps with the retention and application of new concepts. I enjoy the challenge of trying to connect academic subjects with the interests of my students (abstract mathematical principles are less likely to capture a young football fan's fancy, for example, than is trying to calculate a favorite quarterback's passer rating), and I have a...
