{2011 Brosius photo} As always, I am excited to get the year going!! I believe that teaching at Los Al is the best place in the world to teach, with the best kids known to man kind! A little overstated? I don't think so! I love what I do and I love the kids I work with. I expect each student to actively pursue excellence every day they step into my class. The class is set up as a paperless English class; computers serve as the student's notebook, i.e. virtual notebooks. An extension to our classroom at LAHS is the virtual class set up at http://dbrosius.edublogs.org/; this serves as the perfect way to extend the learning from class to home. Only two rules to follow, represent the expectations of intelligent respectful students and always be nice to people. Ready to pursue excellence? Let's do this!
