| Teaching Philosophy: |
Students can learn many problem solving skills through the study of science that they rarely acquire elsewhere. It is my mission to equip students with these skills so they feel better prepared to encounter new problems in the future, whether in further academic study or in their everyday lives. |

Words of
Advice: |
Remember . . . scientific study rarely focuses on getting the right answer! Many times, there is much more to be learned by trying your best even if you make a mistake! In my class students should focus on developing the skills required to solve problems rather than getting hung up on trying to reach the correct answer every time. If they should encounter any problems, they must know I am always here to help! | |
