"Citizens of our state are dependent upon science as never before. Our economy is in the midst of transformation in which peoples' livelihoods depend less upon what they can produce through their labor and more on what they can produce through their ideas...Science literacy is an essential tool for every Texas citizen"
I believe in student centered, teacher led self-discovery and base much of my teaching on practical activities where pupils are able to investigate scientific theories in a hands-on way. This helps to eliminate misconceptions and promotes 'true learning'.
Mutual respect provides the correct atmosphere for the educational process, allows for the assimilation of knowledge and promotes self-worth.
We will love only what we understand.
We will understand only what we are taught."
