About me

I am a business education teacher concerned about the opportunity for students to learn about and acquire business skills and knowledge. It is a business world, and the opportunity to study business while in school provides an advantage for students. All students need personal finance, and accounting is on of the list of "where the jobs are" for the future as well as technology-related fields.

Maintaining dignity

As I believe Madeline Hunter stressed, saving a student's dignity is so important. When a student offers an answer that is incorrect, the tendency is to reply "no, that is not it." Using phrases like, "You may be thinking of . . ." to look for something correct to help save face is an important motivator as students soon learn your class is a safe learning environment.
