"Any person who has begun to think, places some portion of the world in jeopardy." - John Dewey
I have considerable experience teaching students at a diversity of levels. As a public high school teacher (www.hallbio.weebly.com), I taught students of diverse capabilities (advanced students and those with learning disabilities) , ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. My philosophy of education has been shaped by years of professional experience and is based on humanistic constructivist theory.
