About me

I teach a class in Foudations for Achievement. The class is the first attended by every certification seeking student in the college. This class helps the students to adjust to being in a classroom setting and learn to intergrate school into their day to day life.

Once they have completed my class, they are ready to step into their core classes.

Lifelong Learning

They can learn from their classmates and possibly not make the same mistakes.
