TEACHING PHILOSOPHIES

    Self-motivated students are their own best teachers.  The best teachers cultivate self-motivation in students.  Strong math skills are the cornerstone to academic success in technical fields.  Science should be experienced empirically as well as studied in the abstract.  Teachers and students should demonstrate Integrity, Creativity, and Tenacity in and out of the classroom.
