Why did you choose to become a teacher? I wanted to have the same schedule as the rest of my family. I also wanted to be a part of the education process in my community.

What is the most challenging part about teaching? Reaching all students successfully.

As a teacher, what are the most important qualities that a student should possess to achieve success? Show up to class and attempt all homework.

Your advice to the upcoming freshman: If you are not sure, ask questions.

What class or classes do you teach and what will the class be studying and learning? I currently teach Geometry and Algebra 1A for boys in the fall. I will be teaching Foundations and Algebra 1B for boys in the Spring. Students will be studying and learning concepts that will help them achieve not only in the classroom but in everyday life as well.

How much and what kinds of homework can your students expect? I give homework almost everyday, but I try to give them enough class time to finish and ask questions so they don;t have to take it home.

Special Projects that will be completed throughout the semester: There will be sine projects that the students will do in class with their peers.

What is the best way for your students to communicate with you? Through email (mckeev@hck12.net) or by stopping by my classroom (200).

Do you offer tutoring? If yes, when and where: I offer assistance to those students who wish to contact me and set up an appointment. Usually between 3-4 p.m. during the week.
