My name is Kenneth Earl Bryan III. I go by Trey and have recently signed a contract to teach for the first time this fall of 2019 with at risk students for 6th-8th grades. I have never taught in a classroom before. My experience teaching is with my daughter who is 5 and also as a trainer for my current job as a manager at a grocery store. My teaching philosophy is that teachers are more of guides in the classroom and that the student's role is they are to be a part of the education as much as the teacher is, if not more. It is up to the teacher to make things interesting and fun, while the student is to focus and learn. My goal is to instill a sense of pride in learning for my students and to prepare them not only for the next grade, but also outside the classroom walls as well. The end result, I feel for the student, is to leave the school system fully equipped to be a successful contributing member of society.
