About MeI'm very excited to be teaching 7th grade social studies at Ridge Road Middle School. I look forward to exploring many interesting topics in social studies. We will cover topics ranging from the Scientific Revolution to current events. My teaching philosophy is grounded in the concept of teaching scholars how to think, not what to think. Before becoming a teacher in 2010, I worked in the investment banking business, and firmly believe that it is a competitive global market place. Students in the United States will be facing competition for jobs from students all over the world. Critical thinking, increased literacy and problem solving skills are among many tools students will need to develop to meet these challenges. Lets get to work!
