Thomas Lamey

I believe that all students are unique and every classroom is composed of a unique community of learners. As with all learning communities, I believe motivation to learn is provoked by critical dialogue with one another mixed with observations of the environment. I believe consistency, dedication, and perseverance lead to student success, and hope to encourage these traits both inside and outside the classroom.
