He deeply enjoys working with all students at various grade levels, but his main focus is the middle school team. As an Education Specialist, Mr. Steinmetz's main focus is instructing and providing services to students that have been assessed as qualifying for an individualized education plan. He also assists teachers with planning, assessing, and monitoring students' progress towards their curriculum while co-teaching in different classrooms throughout the school day.
Mr. Steinmetz teaching philosophy is that every student has the ability to learn and all students can learn when they are given the proper support and services. Mr. Steinmetz believes in a collaborative effort to assist students in discovering their passions, in order to help them achieve their full potential as growing individuals through the use of technology, innovation, and imagination.
