Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.
Thomas Huxley
English biologist (1825 - 1895)

MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Is quite simple; to facilitate a learning atmosphere in the classroom by making Geography an enjoyable subject that will guide the students in getting to know their world a little better, while building on their successes.  Geography gives the students a chance to experience their world  while acquiring skills that will see them through their lifetime. My students will learn how to understand the global connections they experience everyday through the study of both physical and human geography.
