My philosophy of Education:
Science should be a rigorous, hands-on experience with real world application.
Instruction should be student centered.
It is okay to have fun, but not everything is fun.
My door is always open.
Students should be provided with choices as often as possible.
Students should be held responsible for their choices.
Students should work hard to present their best work at all times.
