Experience Summary
A graduate from Centenary College of La with a BS degree in Geology and a former petroleum geologist indicates I am not immune to working hard. My experience includes working 19 years using engineering and geological knowledge to explore oil and gas reservoirs.
My full time teaching started in 1996 and I retired June 2009 with 14 years experience. I have taught various high school sciences including Environmental Science, Biology, Astronomy, Meteorology, Integrated Physics and Chemistry, Physics and Chemistry. Most of my experience is with the Physical Sciences.
I tutored students who were using the Plato computer program in our after school program. During one summer school session, I taught Algebra 1 to 30 students
Teaching Style
Teaching is a very rewarding experience. I especially like to see when my students progress to a higher level. I believe all children can learn but they often have different learning styles. As a teacher, I varied my teaching style to match a student's learning style. I like to do discovery labs and give the students a little information about the lab and they would create the lab. Students are very creative when given the opportunity and motivation to be creative. At the end of a class, I would like my students as they leave the classroom to think that they learned something new and also had fun.
