Hansen's Personal Pedagogy

  1. School should be as fun as possible.
  2. We should laugh every day.
  3. Working together is easier than working alone.
  4. I don’t know everything and will learn from you as much as you learn from me.
  5. Homework sucks.
  6. Everyone has bad days every now and then.
  7. We are all humans.
  8. All students matter and should be given respect and dignity.


Your Teacher believes: 
 - Strong Relationships MATTER. 
 - All students can succeed despite past failures. 
 - Mastery is important, not just completion. 
 - Flexibility does not mean lowering standards. 
 - High Expectations can help others succeed. 
 - Data & Organization matter.
