I started teaching career at Filer High School in June of 1996. Over the years, I have taught a variety of courses related to Agriculture and been the advisor for the Filer FFA Chapter. Students will be expected to meet all individual course objectives. Instructors will act as facilitators in these lab oriented and application based courses. The course requires extensive student research and completion of experiments. Courses will identify and build on student strengths. Instruction will be geared to students; students will feel valued. Peer interactions will mirror the real world. A system of extra help will be built in. Students will learn how to evaluate their own progress and make adjustments as needed throughout my courses.
