Remember: Positive emotion is analgesic. That is, it also gets rid of negative emotion. A lot of positive emotion you are going to feel is when you are working towards a goal. For many of you, that will be IB Diplomas and AP Certificates. I know I have worked hard to set your course up to make your success possible and I look forward to a great year with you all. The way in which we will study Psychology will cover the mechanistic science behind how we think and behave and can also provide practical tools you can use in your everyday life.

IB Psychology I (HL)
IB Psychology is a rigorous and challenging course designed to allow college-bound juniors and seniors an intensive study of the field of psychology. The course is both reading and writing intensive and allows students to examine the fundamental influences of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural processes and factors upon human behavior and cognition. The biological level of analysis demonstrates what humans share, whereas the cognitive and socio-cultural levels of analysis reveal the diversity that exists between human behavior and cognitive systems. Students will examine and analyze various models and theories, which attempt to explain human behavior as well as develop an awareness of the applications of psychological research. Finally, students will conduct qualitative research in psychology and complete their IB Internal Assessment, IA.

Even though I am originally from North Carolina, I went to the City University of New York for a B.A. Economics, with work in behavioral economics, and to UMASS Boston for a M.A. in History. I previously worked in investment management for nearly a decade involved in trading, asset management, and financial planning.
Welcome to a new school year!
