Mr. Warehall
The 2011/12 academic year marks the 12th year as a teacher and the 10th at Kennedy Middle School. Before my career as an educator, I earned an engineering degree from Michigan State University and spent 7 ½ years in the electrical industry as an engineering sales representative. Always desiring to be a teacher I attended night courses at Wayne State University and earned a Master in the Art of Teaching with an emphasis in mathematics.
As your child’s eighth grade mathematics instructor you should know that I have high expectations and hold my students accountable for the choices they make. I expect them to hold high standards for themselves, both socially and academically. I also encourage my students never to give up, even when they are frustrated, for that is a part of learning. The environment in our classroom will be one that fosters a deep understanding of the content. Multiple representations of mathematics will be incorporated to reach all learners. Students will also take an active role as they are challenged to share their thinking, defend their solutions, work with their peers, and get involved in discussions. My goal is for all students to have an incredible learning experience.
