Clinton-Massie Middle School - Mr. Brady's Science Class



Clinton-Massie Middle School 7th Grade Science2014-2015Dear Parents and Students,Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is James Brady, I am the new 7th grade Science teacher at Clinton-Massie Middle School. I am very familiar with this area, being that I am a 2002 graduate of Clinton-Massie High School. After High School I attended Eastern Kentucky University. While at Eastern,?I majored in Middle Grades Education (4-9) with a concentration in Science and Social Studies. I graduated in the spring of 2007 with my Bachelor of Arts in Middle Grade Education. I have been married for seven years, my wife’s name is Brooke, and she is a Police Officer in a suburb of Cincinnati. We have two beautiful children, Bristol (3) and Braxton(1). I previously have been teaching 8th grade Science at Hillsboro Middle School for the past 7 ? years. I believe teaching is a life-long learning process. I feel that as we become a "smarter" society, it is?integral?for teachers to be open to new ideas and styles of teaching. A strong teacher is willing to experiment with and adapt a wide variety of teaching methods, as he or she understands not all students learn in the same way.??I feel that my students actively participate during my lessons, rather than passively learn. When planning a course of instruction, I identify a set of objectives and skills that each student should gain during that class period or activity. I maintain that all classroom activities should be engaging and authentic. I want my students to be able to apply what they have learned in my class into their own life. I want them to be able to use their knowledge gained and apply it to real-world situations. I use differentiated instruction and multiple ways of teaching because I understand each child is a unique. I maintain a classroom that is welcoming and safe. Students know when they step into my classroom that they will be comfortable, encouraged, and treated with respect.? Please visit my classroom website mrbradysscienceclass. I will continue to use this website to post assignments and news. I can be contacted via email at JaBrady@clinton-massie.k12.oh.us or by phone (937)289-2932. I am extremely excited for this opportunity to be a Falcon once again. Respectfully,James Brady ................
