About The Teacher
I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Wabash College in Crawfordsville, IN, where I majored in psychology and minored in music and history. My elementary license was earned from Calumet College of St. Joseph in Whiting, IN. I am an accomplished violinist, guitarist, and drummer. Some hobbies I like are recording music, woodworking and fishing. This past summer I was able to continue my formal education at Indiana Wesleyan University by taking 6 credit hours of coursework. The classes I took focused on motivating students and techniques of creating an interesting classroom environment. I'm excited to be implementing the new knowledge and strategies that I learned this summer. In 2007 and 2008 I applied for a BP A-Plus for Energy grant. Both years our school was awarded with $5000 to use in the classroom to educate students about solar power. With the $10,000 we were able to purchase and race solar powered model cars on a track that the students helped construct. We also were able to examine the differences between conventional energy production and solar power. We invited a local nursing home to watch the race each year that we held it. This is my fifth year teaching in this awesome learning environment. email: gsmith@fra.edu
