Mr. Young Room 35

I believe to be most effective instructor one must create a safe environment that is interactive and collaborative and that promotes problem-solving and critical thinking skills. A welcoming environment accommodates a variety of student learning styles and encourages students to present their opinions while respecting the opinions of others. By giving students a voice in class, not only do the students benefit from peer to peer learning by enriching the course material with personal experiences and knowledge, but they also take responsibility for their own learning.  Therefore, enhance the integration of their new knowledge into practice. Promoting independent thinking is essential so that students can take what they have learned and apply it in real-life situations. Therefore, my endeavor is to make my classroom an arena for students to learn skills and demonstrate their outcomes.

* Create a safe and welcoming environment.

* Teaching students to take responsibility, for their actions.

* Promote independent thinking.

* Giving my students a voice in the classroom.

* Having students interact with one another expressing their ideas, opinions, and facts.

Hi Parents,

This is a reminder to please be sure to check your child's planner or agenda every night and to also check PowerSchool once a week.  This is the best way to help your student stay on top of their assignments and to communicate with me.  It is so important that you are aware of what is going on in our classroom so that we can all support these students and give them a successful, academic school year!
