Excited about my new beginning at the Ninth Grade Center!

 I am excited to be taking the position as the new Science Teacher in the GPS Academy at the NGC (Ben Davis)! I look forward to meeting my new students and getting a chance to challenge the students of MSD Wayne Township! 

My students should come prepared for a challenging and rewarding experience. We will be studying Biology, the study of life, and we will be surveying many concepts in the field: cells, genetics, development, the environment, evolution, and ecology. My class incorporates Project Based Learning, which asks you to take the information you learn in my class and apply it to overcoming a challenge or making a product. The process asks you to use team work, critical thinking, and creativity to complete your assignments.

As well as the supply list that is provided by the NGC, you should have a dedicated notebook for my class, such as the composition notebook below (see picture), and it can be left in my classroom in your dedicated crate.
