Let the Learning Emerge...

emerge: 1Coming into view, existence, or notice: emergent spring shoots; an emergent political leader.
2. Rising above a surrounding medium

Middle school years are a time when the interests and passions of a learner begin to appear. Some kids find their passions when very young; some don't find them until well into adulthood. The middle school years are the "golden years" for this -- help the kids to explore the world around them, and possibly identify a passion that they will pursue for many years to come. 

It's my goal to raise up learners who know how to ask questions and find the answers. It's a journey learning to inspire and motivate 7th, 8th, and 9th graders to stretch their brains in the area of science. 
I look forward to seeing the learning that happens, and to seeing how the learners themselves grow and change.
