Athens Christian School
Hometown:
Athens, GA
Class Information:
Room Number: 105
Students per Class: 25
Class Description:
Economics, Civics, Music, A/V
Position:
Teacher: Civics, Economics, Music, A/V
Needs:
We are starting an Audio and Video production class and eventual studio. We have video editing software and a chroma key screen, but need good video camera and portable audio recording devices
My Philosophy:
I believe that it is a teacher's obligation to prepare a child for survival outside the four walls of the school. We achieve this by discipling (the root word of discipline) in love, yet teach by word and deed those things that are right and just. The excellent teacher will help a student learn creatively and to "think outside the box", for this is the only way to not only survive, but to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Personal Information:
About Me:
I am an unapologetic southern Christian authoritative teacher, who believes that all children have the capacity to learn and grow. Albeit, some come to school with little or no social skills, we have the power to change them from the inside out. You may not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, but I don't teach canines.
College and Degrees:
B.A. in Music, University of North Florida, 1994; M.M.E. in Music Education in Wind Conducting, Appalachian State University, 2001

"Kids don't care how much you know until they know how much you care" Madeline Hunter, UCLA

Employment History:
I have taught in North Carolina, Florida and now Georgia in both public and private schools and at all levels of education. 10 years of full time experience
Why Do I Teach?:
My profession is my passion. I teach because it is what God has anointed me to do - to pass on the knowledge and passion I have to the next generation
