About The Teacher

I am in my 14th year in education, 12 of which were in Agricultural 
Science.  This is my second year at Steele High School, and I am very glad 
to be here!  We have such great students and staff!

Philosophy of Education

"It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the 
minds of students with facts... it is to teach them to think, if that is 
possible, and always to think for themselves."-- Robert Hutchins  

My goal is not only to teach students facts, but to teach them and encourage 
them to reason things out and think for themselves through setting and 
working towards individual and group goals.  The courses I teach offer real 
life skills that students will need in their future as productive citizens 
of society, no matter what career field they choose.  

My main classoom rule is:  Make no problems! Make no problems with me, make 
no problems with the school, make no problems with your parents, make no 
problems with yourself, etc.  Students are encouraged to think about issues 
that might arise, and make good choices to prevent issues becoming 
problems.  If by chance an issue does become a problem, students are 
expected to be ready for the consequences and make adult choices that will 
help what could be termed a "mistake"  to become a "learning experience".
