Mr. Dillman- About Me
Energetic, Enthusiastic, and Ecstatic are words that describe me. I am a person who has a passion for students and teaching about biology/ A.P.E.S. I communicate and connect, creatively with each student I meet. I accept challenges and meet them head on. I can overcome any obstacle in my path with confidence and a positive attitude. I enjoy getting hands-on in nature. It is my strong passion to teach my classes hands-on and in nature (outside of the classroom). This teaching outlook comes from learning so much about nature just based upon my activities such as hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, fishing, etc. "Why?" is my favorite question to ask. Maybe, I did not kick the habit of asking the question "why?" since that "terrible twos" stage in life but I believe that it has led me to become a great scientist, always searching for answers. If I don't have the answer right away I will search and research until I can find it. All of these attributes about me make me an outstanding science teacher.
