As educators, we must stretch our own abilities. Often times this means putting the kids in the driver’s seat. One of my favorite ways to do this is through inquiry based learning. Students are given a general topic and are guided through the process of creating good research questions. This process forces students to think through the whole process and end up with a final product that represents the answers to their question. Please feel free to check out the following World Changers Unit that my students are currently completing!

Welcome to Mr White's Website. This site will feature information relevant to Mr White's Classroom and useful information for students, parents, and fellow educators. Mr White's educational career began in 1991 when he was in the fifth grade. His class participated in a book-buddies project with a first grade class and he became hooked on the educational process. One comment from the first grade teacher (who noticed him reading upside down, so the student could see the picture) made a huge transformation in his life.
Mr White's educational career has taken him many places, he has had experiences ranging from being responsible for high school student's living in college dorms, teaching students with challenging behaviors, assisting students in overcoming behavioral difficulties, and . He has worked hard to assist students from a disadvantaged background to actualize success in life. It is both challenging and humbling work, however, it is highly rewarding.
