I teach Physics and also Exit Level TAKS classes. My classes are structured to allow the students to be able to explore physics concepts using a variety of methods and real-life examples.
Position:
Physics Teacher
Needs:
The need in my classes and school are more technology needs. Our labs do not have any computers in them, nor do we as a department have any digital cameras that they students may use for their projects.
My Philosophy:
I believe that all students are capable of doing more and reaching for more regardless of any kind of label. Using differentiated techniques helps all students reach their highest potential and opens new doors for their future.

Why Do I Teach?:
I have always taught since I was 10 years old and volunteered to give public demos and talks about a marine touchtank, to tutoring, teaching swim lessons, dog training, training astronauts and finally teaching high school physics. This is a life calling for me and I thrive on seeing children have that 'Ah Ha!' moment. I push kids to reach for more than they ever thought possible. Know that I have made a differnce in so many kids lives also keeps me going.
