MEET MISTER HARMS

MisterHarmsProfile.jpeg

Hey thanks for stopping by! It’s so great to meet you! I'm Mister Harms and I teach junior high through high school social studies in a small-town school. During the summer months when I'm not teaching, I enjoy helping lead a youth camp that focuses on life transformation. I am a cancer survivor who loves life and I also love to travel with my family. We finally reached our goal of visiting all 50 states!

I started teaching at the turn of the millennium - or the year 2000. I am a fourth generation teacher. My great-grandfather taught in a one-room schoolhouse making $35/month. My grandmother started in a one-room schoolhouse then outgrew that to become a lifelong teacher (I even had Grandma as my 3rd grade teacher). Both of my parents were career teachers, some of my siblings are educators, and I even married a Kindergarten teacher! So, I guess you could say it runs in the family. Now I get to teach another generation of students, and I have enjoyed every step of the way. It’s fulfilling to have a positive influence on our young people.

So what's my teaching style? Student engagement. High-quality content. Hands-on activities. Diversified learning. Group collaboration. These are the goals and buzz-words of hope, but ultimately I desire to make learning fun for my students, help them grow as individuals, and add value to their lives. I hope to use this platform as a way to keep myself engaged and gaining from others in my desire to be rooted in truth, growing in freedom, and prospering in all of life

Let's see where this takes us. Here's to the classroom and beyond from your friend Mister Harms!
