PHILOSOPHY
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

I believe that all students are capable of learning challenging material.  I also believe that information must be presented in various ways to accomodate individual learning styles; frequent assessment using multiple tools is necessary to monitor student progress.  This includes visual and auditory examples, hands-on activities, and problem-based learning.  Students are assessed using traditional pencil-and-paper tests, homework, projects, group collaboration, and in-class participation. I also believe that school should be a fun, safe place for each and every child.
