In 30 words or less, please describe your personal teaching style.
I believe that all students can learn provided that they are cared for, encouraged, and understand the purpose of the information. My style is student centered. I try to bring out the best in my students by teaching to numerous learning styles. I am challenging and creative in class and in my assignments. Students learn that learning can be enjoyable, and they can be successful and proud of their accomplishments.
Briefly explain how you integrate your faith and Catholic values into your teaching.
Science can lead us to an awe of God and creation. Through Science class I try to instill an understanding and respect for each other, the creatures of this earth, and our fragile planet.
We have a responsibility to understand and care for creation. Knowledge of Science enables us to be responsible citizens.
