Hello

About Me: Hello, My name is Rashmi Khazanchi. At present(2013-2014) I am teaching Biology and Anatomy and Physiology at Mitchell County High School, Camilla, Ga. I have Educational Specialist Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Lincoln Memorial University, Tennessee. I have Masters degree in Science (Organic Chemistry Major)) and a Bachelors degree in Science (Biology Major). I also have post graduate degree in Health Psychology and Behavior Modification. I am passionate about teaching students. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to teach Biology, Physics, and Chemistry to a diverse group of students in high schools. I help my students build a sense of confidence and enable them to grow as learners. In my lessons, I utilize differentiated instructions, available technology, and research based practices. My greatest strengths is evaluating and meeting students' diverse needs. I have high expectations from my students. I believe every student can achieve success with the support from parents and teachers. Students are expected to come to the class on time and prepared. Students are expected to follow deadlines and time lines set for each assignment. Weekly homework will be a large part of student responsibilities. Students are expected to bring a good attitude, a willingness to learn, and respect for others. If you have questions or concerns, I can be reached by email or phone.
