My philosophy of teaching (and why to never ask me, “Why are we learning this?”)

Will everyone in this classroom become a professional scientist?  Of course not.  Does that mean we should not learn science, or that science is not important?  Of course not!  Regardless of what we learn this year, I have two main goals (and one secondary goal) for the school year.  I want to teach every student the importance of education and prepare students to function effectively in an information economy.  Regardless of the content we will learn this year, it is imperative that all students learn that they will have high expectations for the remainder of their high school careers, their college years, and their time in the professional workforce.  Everyone has expectations that need to be met every day, from the mundane task to the critical thinking, problem solving projects each student will inevitably face throughout their life as lifelong learners.  Along the way, I hope to inspire you and spark an interest and love for science that I enjoy.  It was a high school zoology class that sparked my love for science, and I can only hope one or two of you will get that same spark from this class.

The main goal of this class to instill, through the content of this course, a desire to be a life-long learner, critical thinker, and problem solver.  By means of student accountability and high expectations for each student, we can work together to help you be the most sought after citizen by colleges, universities, and the world of work.  Each lesson is designed to be engaging and relevant and to provide opportunities for all students to pursue their maximum intellectual potential.  Reaching maximum achievement will prepare students to live productively and responsibly in a technical, global society.
