Philosophy
I feel it is necessary to empower our young people with positive self-esteem, a balanced perspective of their cultural identity, and provide a safe space for learning. By whatever means necessary to give them the tools for success, be it traditional or non-traditional arena of teaching. Paint a picture; that way the message will stick to them and they can apply the information. Show them how math science, geography relates outside the classroom. Have fun!!!!
