MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Welcome to my Class Website. My desire is to help my students gain a better understanding of the world in which we live, and to become better citizens at school and in society. My educational philosophy is simple, I am an essentialist. Essentialists believes that there is a set of core knowledge that every person needs in order to succeed. The course of study is conservative, stressing moral development and "back to the basics" academic knowledge while ever pressing to a higher level of achievement.
