Moshannon Valley Junior-Senior High School

Advanced Chemistry, Chemistry, and Applied Chemistry

Introduction:

Greetings and welcome to the 2010-2011 school year!

As a way of introduction, here follows a brief summary of my qualifications and my teaching philosophy.  I have a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Genetic Engineering Technology.  I earned my teaching certification in Chemistry and Master's Degree in The Science of Instruction with a concentration in Chemistry from Drexel University.

I believe that genuine observation and inquiry will lead my students and myself to learn more about the world, ourselves, and how we interact with our world and one another.  As a teacher, I can facilitate this deeper understanding by helping my students explore connections with the world around them.
