Welcome Students
Learning is a process of being involved. My goal is not to cram as many facts in your head as possible! My goal is to get you involved. When you step into my classroom, you are an active learner, and I will do my best to activate you. What does this mean? It means that I will ask lots of questions and show you how to ask questions too. It means that I want to hear your voice, whether that's on paper, in discussion, through an email, on a video, and any medium we use to communicate. It also means that we're in this together. We'll learn together, explore new ideas together, make mistakes together, and succeed together. Through this, you will become co-creators of your knowledge (instead of consumers), and when that happens, your learning will be alive!
It's a privilege to be your teacher, to be your activator!
