About Mr. Beck

My instructional philosophy is based on:

  • Math is omnipresent, priceless treasure waiting to be discovered.

  • The more varied the connections, the more likely the treasure will be retained.

  • Students who become independent explorers shall surpass their teacher's fortune.

  • I am a parent.

  • I was a software engineer for 16 years.

  • School should prepare you for life outside the classroom.

My behavior philosophy is based on "The 3 R’s"

  • Respect, as it pertains to thoughts, feelings and actions.

  • Responsibility, as it pertains to ownership and accountability.

  • Reason, as it pertains to ideas, problems and understanding

We all have our strengths and weaknesses.

Success comes from finding out what they are and making the most of what we have
