Osceola Middle School

This week's Spotlight on Education brings us to Osceola Middle School and Math Teacher- Mr. Turner! 🍎Mr. Turner said his teaching philosophy is "Step #1 is always building a solid relationship with students and creating an environment where students are eager and excited to learn. Once those foundational building blocks are set, the teaching becomes much more effective and efficient. I love to give students multiple opportunities and mediums to learn, whether it be through direct instruction, group work, or exploratory/hands-on activities." 🙌🙌He also said "I wouldn’t be where I am without my team! In my two years at OCSB, I have been supported by so many incredible people including my Math PLT (Professional Learning Team), 8th Grade Team, and the OMS Administration Team. There has never been a time where I have felt like I had to tackle a problem alone or didn’t have anyone to turn to. Thank you so much to my team for all you do!"
