Welcome letter
Welcome to my classroom! I am Dr. Qi Chen; I will be your Interactions teacher this school year. I love working with students to help them use science and engineering practices to better understand the world around them. I hope to prepare you for college, career, and life as we engage in critical conversations using science and engineering practices. I look forward to supporting your growth as a scientist this year! My personal teaching philosophy regarding education is that every student is capable of learning regardless where he or she is from, even from a low-income area. One very important factor to consider is that students learn at different rates and adopt different styles for acquiring knowledge, accordingly, the different approaches such as video, multimedia and computer-aided teaching are needed to meet different student’s needs. I think that I have the ability to determine the most effective teaching techniques to use and when to apply them based on my own teaching experience.
