Welcome to the new school year! I am Mr. Norris, and I will be teaching Seventh Grade English-Language Arts and Social Studies. I'm a graduate of Tennessee State University, and have taught in Inglewood for going on ten years. I'm very excited for the 2023-24 school year.
The seventh grade year is very important for overall student development. My teaching philosophy is to implore students to become lifelong learners. Life doesn't allow a person to "turn your brain off" without consequence. Life requires critical thinking, analysis, research, and making decisions based on the evidence presented. These will be the four vital areas of focus for all of my students.
Along with being an ELA/Social Studies teacher, I am the den leader of the best den in the school, the Revolutionary den. I will also be very involved in the Bears athletic program, serving as the head coach of the football team and the girl's basketball A-Team
On a personal note, I'm a husband and father. My wife and are proud parents of two young boys, ages 8 and 6 years old. Another part of my teaching philosophy is that what I'm doing is helping young people who will go out into the world and make it a better place for my children to grow up in.
Sincerely,
Mr. Norris
