I
am entering my 12th year of
teaching (Holy Cow!) and it's still enjoyable ... on most days. I teach two core
subject areas, Social Studies and Math, at Center School for
NEISD. My primary emphasis is in the area of Economics, US
History, American Government, Algebra and Geometry. I am also the
webmaster for the following schools: Center School, Adolescent Intervention Center, Children Intervention Center,
Northeast Transition School, and NEISD Night School.
I attempt to generate as many ?Hands-on?
activities as possible, and center lessons on real life applications
where applicable. Most of
my lessons are intended for cooperative use on the internet, adapted to
fit individual learning behaviors. Doesn't
that sound like a bunch of junk? My goal is to one day transition into computer technology,
specifically curriculum based technology.
Despite what my wife says, I am a much better teacher than she
is. Although I must admit she is smarter and better looking.
As the year progresses (is it
summer yet?), I will continue to add some fascinating new material (although
there is that rare student who would rather sleep through it than to listen to me ramble on
and on) so check back from time to time. Man, when do I find time for this
stuff? Between teaching, helping Veronica raise our two kids (at least
I think I'm helping- does putting in a video count?) and operating our 
own home business (canfieldstudios.net), finding time to update can be
thin. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the site and can use it in your
classroom or at home.
The
following is a list of lesson plans and websites I've generated for the
internet and the happy use of my
students.
Obviously,
it's a work in progress - dare I say, "Masterpiece in
progress" - nay. It is a lot of fun though. The intent
is to have one site that is self-contained with limited outside sources, easy to
navigate, educational, fun and covers Texas testing objectives / TEKS, TAKS,
SDAA and LDAA guidelines.
Thanks,
and Enjoy!
