TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
I believe students will realize their fullest potential in an environment which promotes the development of skills needed to solve real-world problems, and encourages exploration and creativity. As a teacher, I strive to develop lessons, assignments, and assessments which challenge students to use higher-order thinking skills, connect concepts across the curriculum, and integrate the 21st Century skills necessary for success in todays technologically focused society.
