My goal as a teacher is to inspire and challenge students to work harder and achieve more than they may think is possible by creating an environment in which they are both motivated to learn and provided with the opportunity to learn. I became a teacher because I wanted to share my knowledge of science and research with others. By bringing energy and enthusiasm to the classroom, I encourage students to commit themselves to practices of lifelong learning and exhibit my own dedication to the same principle.As an instructor of biological science courses, my job extends far beyond the realm of science textbooks and I help students develop tools for reading, analyzing, thinking, and writing which will aid them throughout college and after graduation. In practice, to meet these responsibilities, I focus on particular goals: to set an example of effort, energy, and interest in the subject matter and in each individual student’s progress; to create a positive learning environment for all students; to clearly present students’ responsibilities for the course; to provide specific and timely feedback to students’ work; and, to enable students to analyze and interpret texts by providing supporting evidence. I acknowledge to students that I expect a great deal of commitment and effort from them; in return, I tell them that I expect the same level of dedication from myself. I am dedicated to continuing my development as an effective teacher. This desire is fueled by my own curiosity, love of learning, and vision of the infinite potential for growth within each of us.Specialties: Biology and Chemistry Teacher
