Legislative and presidential actions, such as the Emancipation Proclamation, are examined as well. Students learn about due process, and explain how it is designed to protect the rights of the people.

As part of the high school science curriculum, students in Waldorf participate in a study of chemistry. Students begin the course learning about atoms, their structure, and their influence on the structure and properties of elements.

Maryland Tutors

My goals are to educate and train students through the challenges of learning and watch them grow to their full potential. I will work with students at different levels to help them improve their education as they move up to a higher education. I will participate in study groups to enhance successful online and in-person classroom experiences. By working together, we can all learn different things from each other to increase our higher learning.
I plan and instruct each subject area using a wide variety of motivational and implementation strategies as well as teaching aids in order to engage students in active learning, which is essential for growth. I also incorporate learning modality principles into classroom and individual instruction and develop and conduct inter-grade activities.
I believe that education is the key to elevating oneself socially, economically and physiologically. Successful learning is associated with self-esteem, opportunities both social and vocational. All children have the right to access education, and with that access comes opportunity for any child, despite background, to advantage themselves and become well-balanced members of our society, and to contribute back to others what was offered them via the opportunity of education.

Dr. Mudd House Museum

Dr. Samuel Alexander Mudd was born in 1833 in Charles County, Maryland. He grew up living a normal life, and went to medical school in Washington D.C. to be a doctor. He returned to Waldorf, and inherited the St. Catherine plantation, where he lived for a time as the local doctor. On Friday, April 14th, 1865, President Lincoln was assassinated in Washington D.C.. John Wilkes Booth, the assassin, had broken his leg in his escape, and fled through Waldorf. He arrived at Dr. Mudd’s house at 4am the next morning, where Dr. Mudd unknowingly set and splinted President Lincoln’s assassin’s leg, allowed him to rest in his own bed, and then sent him on his way. The road outside the house is now known as the “Booth escape route”. Dr. Mudd House Museum is dedicated to keeping the Victorian experience alive, they run events like their annual Victorian Christmas party, where they teach the story of Dr. Mudd while dressed in period attire.

Chalk Talk: Reasons Why Extracurricular Activities Are Important

In order to develop to their fullest potential, students need to participate in extracurricular activities. Whether a club, organization, or sport, extracurricular activities help build on knowledge and skills acquired in the classroom. Engagement in activities builds self-esteem and self-confidence as kids learn new things. They also offer a chance for kids to make new friends and spend time with kids and teachers in a non-classroom environment. Activities also promote the development of communication skills, teamwork, creativity, and time management skills, all of which lend themselves to improved academic performance. Having time before or after school to have fun allows kids to blow off steam and release some of the pent up energy and stress that comes with being in class all day. This, in turn, promotes improved attention and behavior during the school day.
