I...

...Why do I teach? Successful learning requires awareness of HOW you think: how you create and organize your own perception.

...fascinating stories that happen to be true. I believe it is important that you must find a way to interest students in what they are learning if you want to engage them in the material.

I enjoy reading, playing...

...be temporarily separated from the rest of the population. Throughout, I have maintained a steady and patient demeanor that puts students at ease. Fostering an environment for learning involves allowing students to experiment with new knowledge and understand its limits.

I like working with middle and high school students mostly because they...
