Teaching Experience
I've always loved being a student, which is partly why I am so happy with my career choice. I like to teach my students to be independent, life-long learners. To be effective educators, teachers must accommodate a diverse group of ability levels and interests. I believe that implementing Project-Based-Learning will vastly improve my students academic progress. I'm very excited to excite my students about the content and technology we're going to learn this year.
