How I teach
My desire is to see students grow and flourish, discovering their unique gifts and abilities, then to study and allow those gifts and abilities to grow to their greatest potential.  It starts in school and continues for life.  I believe the classroom is a place to grow and experiment as much as possible, to develop old and form new ideas in a safe place.  I don’t want to see safe solutions to problem solving, but want to see creative risk taken.  The classroom environment allows for personal and professional discovery; a chance to see a glimmer of the unique contribution that you can make to society.

More Information about me:
Life is full.  Each person and experience can have a profound effect.  My impact is found on my family, my friends, my students….  my creative endeavors.  Each has in tern influenced me, however, the greatest impact on my life is from my creator.
