MY PHILOSOPHIES ON TEACHING SCIENCE

     

A science teacher should interest, motivate and encourage students. Students should be as excited and curious about scientific phenomena as I am. Teach by example! Be actively involved in learning, experimentation, and causes that are important to you. Share those experiences with your students.
