What does this person teach?
8th Grade Georgia Studies
Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?
He makes learning fun! He really teaches American History, but with Georgia history slant as his base. How he teaches it is what's really powerful in his classes. He displays a delightful sense of humor and each day finds a way to introduce humor into his teaching. The result? His students remember what they are taught because Victor understands that something learned and coupled with an emotion will be moved deep into a child's long-term memory and stay with them indefinitely! He is a wonderful teacher and by many, many of his students is long-remembered as the best teacher they ever had!
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?
He truly cares about each student he teaches and wants every one of them to be successful in life!
