I will record all live instruction so that if a student is not able to attend in real time, he/she may watch the replay. As it takes some time for these videos to process and upload, please look for them to be posted about an hour after class ends.
I will have office hours from 1:50 - 2:50 daily. During this time, I will be able to respond to any questions students might have (via email) and set up 1 to 1 video chats if needed.

I love teaching. I knew I would be a teacher from the time I was very young. Normally, I like to have an active, sometimes noisy, hands-on classroom that feels like a family. This year will be different, but I will add as many of those elements as I can. I love getting to know new students each year and finding ways to incorporate each student's unique strengths into our classroom.
