About Me

One of the most challenging aspects of teaching is to make every student who walks into the classroom excited about learning. There is no one method in which this can be accomplished which means that a teacher must learn to instinctively know how to best make a lesson successful. In my experience, even the most distant child can become excited about science if it is presented in a way that relates to them. For this reason, I strive to make every lesson educationally valuable to all students by linking each concept to real life issues. It is so rewarding to see a student who was supposedly "weak" in science, become deeply involved in a scientific experiment that has sparked their interest.

Q&A with Stephanie

First and foremost, my goal as a teacher is to provide the structure and motivation to help students obtain greater academic success. I believe that all students can learn, but also acknowledge that there are many distractions in the lives of students that keep them from achieving their potential. By providing a reason for learning the material, and adding enjoyment to the learning process, I hope to help diminish some of these distractions. My philosophy is that the quality of the teacher is reflected by the attitudes of the students as they walk out the door.
