    Welcome!

    Welcome to AP Psychology! I am so excited that you have chosen to learn about the mind and body. I am extremely passionate about the subject and I love working with kids, so teaching high school psychology is a perfect fit for me. I know that this is going to be another great year!

    My Educational Philosophy

    A great education is one that promotes enthusiasm for the content through active engagement in discussions and activities. The more that students interact with the content, the more that they are able to apply what they are learning to the real world so that they better understand themselves and the world in which we live.
