About Me

SUBJECTS

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

I believe education should be fun and personal without being intimidating while incorporating as much technology as possible.
Students should be able to see the benefits of the education they are receiving so they can apply it to real life situations.

I understand and empathize with the student who is having trouble comprehending the task at hand. I can differentiate a lesson in a multitude of ways. I have researched and refined methods that allow me to play to a student’s strength.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

Just like everyone else, my life has had many learning experiences some positive and some not so positive but all of them educational. I am starting my 18th year as an educator, seven of those years at a Youth Development Center and the last five at the alternative school I am at now. years. Over half of my career has been working with at-risk and struggling students.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I entered my middle school students into a contest with Math Counts. The project required the students to use their math skills to solve a word problem and use it in a real world application. The students had to use technology, math, writing, drama, language arts and people skills to accomplish their task. Their performance was amazing.

We contacted the local car dealership for permission to shoot our video using their cars and parking lot. Even though we did not win, it was a wonderful educational experience that embodied the effect I try to achieve when teaching.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

In my personal life, getting together with the extended family about every weekend to cook out and enjoy our rivalries in Nascar or cheer on the Braves is how I spend some of my free time.

In school, I have assisted with 4-H, Academic Bowl, after school tutoring, being a mentor teacher, and participating on our school and district’s leadership teams.
