Philosophy:
I believe that if we guide and encourage students to be curious and wonder about the world; and then help them discover answers and THINK about the application of that knowledge to their lives, we set them on the path to life long learning. And when a student is on that path, they gain a better understanding of, and acquire a deeper appreciation for the earth, and the things in it. That makes better people…. and if even ONE person walks out of my classroom better than they were before they walked in, then I have accomplished any teacher’s goal.
