(Insert Formal Greeting),
My name is Brandon Alan Stevenson. I've been a United States History, Law Related Education, and Government and Economics teacher in the Mississippi Delta at the world class institution Clarksdale High School for two years. This website has been created to share with whomever reads it the journey of finding oneself and embracing the positive and the negative found in growing as a human being. An album can sometimes tell the story of the musician, just as a book can layout the plot of an individual's life. The past two years in the Mississippi Delta have been what I consider, so far, to be the Greatest Hits of my life. I've modeled the journey as an album here utilizing the band Modest Mouse and their album and song titles to share with the reader the feelings involved in the moment. Further this website will provide pedagogical methods to aspiring teachers so they may achieve the same sort of successes that I experienced in my two years in the greatest place in our nation, the Mississippi Delta. Coining the phrase "Global Leaders" and "RAWR" I was able to establish a culture that inspired the children to the highest state test scores seen in recent years and was awarded Teacher of the Year in the school and district in 2017 to commemorate the accomplishments of my brilliant students. I hope that this portfolio allows any reader to feel inspired by the great profession of teaching and decide to follow their dreams and teach. |
