This year I am looking forward to spending my sixteenth year in the 
classroom, my thirteenth in Cobb County, and my seventh at KMHS! 

As a teacher, my goals are to motivate my students to

*  become life-long learners.
*  not just memorize information, but analyze and apply what they have 
   learned to real-life scenarios.
*  appreciate that learning is not always easy, but is truly worth the 
   effort.
*  value the meaning of the inequality: work input > work output.
*  to place greater significance on learning information than on a 
   numerical grade.

Mission For The Class

Research and Internship:

Magnet Advanced Scientific Research will be blocked with Advanced Science 
Internship. Emphasis for this course will be in-depth scientific research 
skills, scientific writing, and data analysis. Culmination of this course 
will be a scientific paper which will be presented to a faculty/ community/ 
research panel. Prerequisites are two math and/or science AP courses. 

Magnet Advanced Scientific Internship places heavy emphasis on scientific 
applied research. Students will be required to develop a worksite/research 
topic. Students will prepare an electronic portfolio and multi-media 
presentation for the course. Prerequisites are two math and/or science AP 
courses


Physics:


This course will be beneficial as you attempt to thoroughly understand how 
and why objects work and move the way they do. Physics is a lab-oriented 
course that includes topics related to matter, energy and their interactions. 
Emphasis is on conceptual understanding, problem solving, laboratory 
application of skills to a mathematical application of the theories and laws 
governing the interactions of matter, energy and the forces of nature.

In order to be successful in physics, problems must be solved and concepts 
must be reviewed on a daily basis.
