My Mission

My mission is to give my students an experience that inspires them to pursue 
Chemistry in their future.  I do this through an inquiry based teaching 
style.  I create experiences that allow them to form and support their own 
conclusions while guiding their understanding.  This requires a caring, safe, 
and respectful environment where I can assist students in building the 
scientific habits of mind that will serve them well as autonomous learners of 
the 21st century.
