Take a TourLearn by Doing
Wood Technology students applied their skills to help Capitol Hill commemorate the new light rail station.
I see the potential in all my students. If someone isn’t getting a concept, I can show them other ways to solve a problem that makes sense to their particular learning style. My goal is to make the content as accessible as possible.
