Classroom Policies:

     I believe that all students can and will learn. While I do have a few hard and fast deadlines, usually for logistical reasons, I encourage students to continue work on any and all assignment throughout the semester. I assign work because it is progressive, and sequential to the achievement of the District's Scope and Sequence. Therefore, all assignments are required and important to complete. Success in this course and, in my humble opinion, depends largely on application and perseverence. My role as teacher is to encourage and assist all students to learn, think, apply, and perform.
