Footnotes from the Teacher
Hello -- and welcome to my classroom
This is my thirty-third year with East Jackson. I received my teaching degree from Eastern Michigan University and have a Masters in Reading, as well as a Masters in the Art of Teaching. I am married to Matt and have three sons, Alex, Andy, and Caleb. I bring many of my experiences as a community member, wife, parent, and teacher into my classroom and enrich my lessons with real life connections and examples.
My GOALS:
As a teacher it is my mission to provide a safe, comfortable learning environment where students are empowered and inspired to become life-long learners. We will concentrate on the power behind meta-cognitive reading and writing, developing critical thinking strategies that will help them to build success in school and in all areas of inquiry. As a teacher, I emphasize 3 GOALS for my students:
1. to Go Out And Learn Successfully with skills that apply to all content
2. to Go Out And Live Successful lives as members of adult society
3. to Go Out And Leave a Successful impact on the world
