"The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterward." ~Anatole France

Welcome!

This is my ninth year teaching at Tennessee School for the Blind. I will be teaching middle school science as well as providing braille instruction. I love teaching and learning. I am a PhD student at Tennessee Tech in exceptional learning with a concentration in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). I love traveling because it allows me to learn something new. In the past I have attended energy camp which is hosted by the office of energy programs. Each year, I take select students to Space Camp for Interested Visually Impaired Students (SCIVIS). Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I am looking forward to a fantastic school year!

SCIVIS Creed

"We are all here to learn with our peers. Let us celebrate our similarities and our differences. Let us respect other cultures, religions, and languages. At our beginning, many were given little chance but due to the people in our lives, we find ourselves in a wonderful place with wonderful people. Let us flourish in our learning, find joy in our experiences and remember our friends and knowledge we gained at Space Camp." -- Dan Oates
