Introduction

Hello SASIC Family!

It is my intent to use this blog to post local professional development opportunities, links to online teacher and student resources, ideas for classroom and field trip activities, and other practical strategies and skills that you can implement in your high school classrooms.

I want this blog to be informative and functional. I want my teachers to come to me with their challenges and ambitions, and let me help them research and plan the implementation of innovative, student-centered strategies and methodologies. You are the experts. You know the students. You are on the "front lines" every day working to ensure that your learners are receiving the best, most progressive education you can provide.

Do not hesitate to contact me if...
- You need help creating and implementing a lesson concept
- You are having difficulty aligning a particular lesson activity to TAKS Objectives, STAAR Categories, or CTE Standards
- You are experiencing trouble implementing student discipline or maintaining an organized classroom
- You require a deeper understanding of a particular practice or concept, but don't have much time to  perform independent research.
- Etc.

I am your resource. I am here to promote and communicate your purposes and ideas to the administration, your fellow educators, the parents, and students. I will also try to keep an updated calendar of events indicating when student field trips, PLC discussions, and staff meetings will be taking place throughout the school year. 

In short (too late), I am instituting this blog to try to make your jobs a little easier. Just let me know how I can help you meet your goals.
