Honors Philosophy As far as I am concerned, "Honors" has NOTHING to do
with increasing the assignment load of the students. I believe it
is the level of instruction that makes a course "Honors." I
ask the same assignments of all my students in every class I teach, Honors or
not. The difference is in the level of the instruction. I am a
reader for the National AP Exam in many subject areas. I attend AP
Institute regularly so that I learn how to prepare scholars to take the
national standardized tests in the subject matter. I bring these materials
to class to share with my students, whenever possible. It is
"Honors" because the materials taught are a cut above the norm, not
because of the amount of unnecessary memory work for the student
generated. Basically, I challenge myself to teach the
course with increased fervor. It is called "Honors"
because it is a better course, not a more arduous program. |
