My mission is to prepare students to reach their highest potential, and to become productive, ethical and responsible citizens through rigorous educational programs which respect individual differences and diversity.
Actually, that's my school's mission .... just about the same as any other high school!
My mission, in short, is to develop the critcal thinking skills of my students. I want to develop a curiousity in my students that prompts them to wonder. This curiosity should be evident in my classroom through their questions and comments. In order to accomplish this goal, it is important that my classroom be a comfortable environment in which students are willing to take risks. Additionally, in order to accomplish my goals, I need to allow my students the time and support to develop their own thoughts and ideas.

critical thinking is a big term with me. Being a science teacher, I always stress to kids that we are trying to develop their critical thinking skills.
