Teaching to match learning.

I invite my students to gain a deeper understanding of themselves as students by taking a survey in which they assess the type of learner they are. Please share your results with me so we can work together to create the most effective learning environment for you!

I am a logical-mathematical person, and enjoy interpersonal activities. I tend to enjoy factual learning versus conceptual, and it is one aspect that draws me towards science. While I fully intend to teach my students the core curriculum with the “whats” of science, I will encourage them to debate, explore and uncover the “how” and “why” of our world around us.

Effective teaching is a balance between so many factors: direct instruction and personal exploration, group collaboration and independent problem solving. My teachers worked hard to balance learning activities, which aided in my success as a student, and I aim to offer the same support and awareness within my classroom.  I am excited to witness and understand the diversity in my future classes, and work together to blend my teaching techniques and their learning styles for a supportive and effective classroom environment.
